At the GSPCA we are normally appealing for homes for animals, but we are currently appealing for your unwanted soft toys.
The cuddly toys we are appealing for will found good homes as prizes on some of our games to help raise funds for the Shelter such as our upcoming Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday.
If you have any unwanted soft toys then please pop them up to the Shelter or if you need a vehicle to pick up quite a few then please let us know and we can arrange collection.
In the middle of Winter on the 4th January a very thin unwell hedgehog was rescued in the grounds at Government House.
The poorly hedgehog which was half his ideal body weight would have likely perished if he hadn’t have been rescued and brought into the GSPCA to care for over the last few months.
The hedgehog which has been called ‘Governor’ has made huge improvements and as he has now reached a healthy release weight.
With only two weeks to go the GSPCA are busy preparing for the sixth Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday.
With a large cruise liner visiting it is set to be a busy day on the 28th May.
We are more than happy if any stalls or buskers would like to join us and if you are interested in supporting our day to celebrate animals in Guernsey please do get in touch.
Last week on Thursday 4th May we held our fifth volunteer induction of 2017 at the GSPCA and saw another packed room of 12 new helpers keen to learn how they can get involved with us here at the Animal Shelter adding to the 77 inducted this year taking this years inducted volunteers to a total of 89 not including others that have helped from businesses, groups and other organisations.
Yesterday Northern Trust broke a GSPCA record as over 100 of their staff have now helped volunteer since April 2014.
This was a literal ground breaking record as the team of 8 not only took the volunteer numbers from Northern Trust to 106 they also spent the day digging, weeding, planting and laying a disabled access path to our wildlife area and pond with help from the Work to Benefit team and Group Leader Ann Wragg from St Andrews Floral Group.
At the GSPCA we would like to on behalf of Guernsey CIPD share the details of how to nominate for the People Manager of the Year 2017 with only a few days left to vote.
Is there an outstanding influencer in your business? Someone passionate about people development? Someone who naturally impacts and motivates the people and the lives of those around them? If so, tell Guernsey CIPD about them and together they and you can applaud their commitment.
On Thursday 20th and Friday 21st April the wonderful staff from The Travel Corporation joined the team at the GSPCA.
This is the third year in a row team members from The Travel Corporation have helped at the GSPCA.
On the 15th February 2012 Sarah Ozanne joined the team at the GSPCA as a volunteer dog walker and started helping at the Animal Shelter in many of the departments.
Her interest in the work at the Shelter quickly grew and after applying for a full time post at the GSPCA she started her career in December of the same year.
