The hugely popular Viaër Marchi, hosted by National Trust of Guernsey on the first Monday in July, heralds the start of the Guernsey Summer season. Showcasing traditional Island crafts, favourite foods, music and dancing, this is a gathering enjoyed by generations of Islanders and return visitors since the 1970s.
Every year the GSPCA is called out to homes, sheds, buildings, green houses and gardens where rabbits can be found in extremely poor conditions.
In recent years the GSPCA have removed more than 60 rabbits from one address more than 30 from another and are often called to addresses where there is multiple rabbits and breeding taking place.
On Saturday the 8th June as part of the Big Help Out and Volunteers Week the 6th Guernsey Scouts gave an afternoon to help around the GSPCA.
From gardening to painting over 20 volunteers from the 6th Guernsey Scouts were a huge help at the GSPCA.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We were delighted when Kayleigh from the 6th Guernsey Scouts contacted us to offer their volunteering time for the Big Help Out day and in Volunteers Week on Saturday 8th June 2024.”
As the sunny weather arrives the GSPCA are expecting to receive calls and reports from the public from dogs locked in cars, dogs being walked on hot pavements, animals in direct sunlight, wildlife in need and we want to remind all pet owners of the real dangers to their pets and how you can help wildlife.
With the extreme warm weather and direct sunlight, dogs and other animals whether in cars or their pens are potentially in a situation where you could kill your pet if it is left, regardless of the situation.
The GSPCA are hugely grateful to the staff at Ocorian who have given so much time to help animals and the work of the GSPCA.
Tim Pellett GSPCA Training and Community Officer said “On the 17th May, 10th June and 20th June we have greeted amazing volunteers from Ocorian.”
“On the 17th May 3 volunteers from Ocorian gave time to help with gardening and especially our hanging baskets and were brilliant as we are always trying to help the wildlife and biodiversity.”
This Sunday you can see over 40 local charities with a variety of stands on the front lawn of Government House.
Various activities and entertainment will take place through the afternoon and there will be food and refreshments.
Entry is free and there is a car park with a minimum £2 donation to Guernsey Scouts.

Last month the GSPCA ran our 12th Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday and what an amazing day it was.
With the Guernsey Ultra and Guernsey Boat Show there were over 200 stalls and things to do and see.
The day has raised so far over £6000 and rising due to amazing donations like that from Granite Goat.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “What an incredible Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday we had last month.”
“The Seafront was packed with things to do and see and all to celebrate animals and our amazing community.”
Recently the Guernsey Press put a fabulous article about 3 Freemason Lodges helping 5 charities.
On the 11th November 2023 Mariners Lodge No 168, St Sampsons Lodge No 2598 and Lodge Fidelis No 1809 held a Ladies Night at St Pierre Park Hotel.
Funds raised during the event were shared between Chelsea Pensioners', the Gurkha Welfare Trust, the Friends of the PEH, Guernsey Society for Cancer Relief and the GSPCA.
The evening included fund raising and entertainment and a lot of fun was had by all while raising funds for these worthwhile causes.
