Submitted by Steve on 12:14, 27th Apr, 2016 | 0

If you're out and about why not pop by the Taste of Guernsey Seafront Sunday this weekend.

We will be setting up from 8am for a 10am start and it is their first Seafront Sunday of 2016 and first of the year.

It is likely we will be once again just outside Marks and Spencer with all of our fun games and tombolas.

The GSPCA will hopefully have a stall at every Seafront Sunday this year and on Liberation Day and we are looking for volunteers to help us out on the days.

Lots of interest in volunteering at the Careers Show 2016

Submitted by Steve on 10:15, 14th Apr, 2016 | 0

Last Tuesday the GSPCA took a stall to the Careers Show 2016 for the fourth time and were overwhelmed by inquiries.

Although the Shelter rarely has vacancies the GSPCA are always looking for volunteers to help in a variety of areas and this was of a huge interest to many of the visitors at the Careers Show.

For many of the Year 9 students it is the first time they are able to help at the Shelter, as to become a volunteer with animals at the Shelter the minimum age is 14 years.

This meant that hoards of Year 9's swamped the GSPCA stand to find out how they could help.
