This week the GSPCA celebrate 142 years and are holding a number of events of GSPCA Purple Week.
As part of Purple Week we held our second volunteer induction evening of 2015 last night.
12 new volunteers arrived, some with family members and friends to find out about the work of the GSPCA.
Last night we held our first volunteer induction evening of 2015.
20 new volunteers arrived, some with family members and friends to find out about the work of the GSPCA.
At 6.30pm the induction began with GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne talking about the work of the GSPCA, the areas that volunteers can help and how to work safely at the Shelter and our events.
We are always looking for volunteers to help at the Shelter in a variety of roles.
You need to be at least 14 years old to help at the Shelter. Although if you are younger then you could still help. If you talk to your parents or guardians they may can help you with fund raising for the Animal Shelter.
On Wednesday the 26th November we held our eleventh and final Volunteer Induction Evening at the GSPCA of 2014.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager and Emma Trousdale Animal Care Assistant were on hand to talk to the 17 new volunteers about the work of the Shelter and induct the keen new volunteers about the procedures and protocols at the Animal Shelter.
Some were interested in helping fund raising, others clean kennels, walk dogs, socialise cats and even those doing their Duke of Edinburgh.
With another wonderful year coming to a close there is one more chance to join the GSPCA as a volunteer.
On Wednesday 26th November at 630pm at the Shelter in St Andrews we will be holding the final volunteer induction evening of the year.
To help on site with the animals you have to be 14 years or over but all ages are welcome as we are always looking for fund raisers.
No need to reserve a place all we ask is that you are at the GSPCA a little before 6.30pm.
Each quarter staff and volunteers are nominated for certificates of appreciation for their hard work and commitment by one another, our supporters and general public.
For the Summer quarter here are the nominations and the reasons for those nominations –

Terry Buckley – ‘A star and a half in reception. So patient and kind with a good sense of humour. What more could you ask?’

Last night at the GSPCA we held one of our regular induction evenings.
13 new volunteers attended and many with friends and parents to learn all about the GSPCA, how to work safely at the Shelter and to set a date to start volunteering.
Over the next few weeks the group of 13 volunteers are set to start in various roles and the first start this morning.
Many will also be helping at our Animal Castle Day at Castle Cornet this Sunday.
This morning we welcome Joanna Hallas, Chris Le Prevost and Paula Le Maitre starting at the Shelter.
On Wednesday we held another volunteer induction afternoon and were pleased to welcome a further 8 volunteers to the GSPCA team.
James, Liz, Martin, Jo, Abbie, Zara, Kira and Sarah spent the afternoon finding out about the work of the GSPCA, how to work safely at the GSPCA, all about the fund raising events and other opportunities at the Animal Shelter.
Each of those attending had an area they would like to focus such as ferrets to cats, fund raising to dogs and we would like to thank them for attending and getting involved.
