Over the last year the St Andrews Floral Group have raised over £10,000 and brought together in excess of 100 volunteers to help with the grounds and conservation work at the GSPCA Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
The GSPCA are extremely grateful to St Andrews Floral Group and all that have helped and we continue to look at ways we can work together and improve the grounds for wildlife, flora and fauna.

For the next stage of improving the grounds at the Shelter with the help of St Andrews Floral Group we are concentrating on our wildlife pond which has sadly been dropping each year in level due to a number of issues with its natural lining to hold the water which comes from a natural spring under the GSPCA.
We are continually fund raising to improve this beautiful natural feature on site which benefits much of the wildlife that lives on and around site from birds and ducks to frogs and insects and recently we have received a number of donations to enable us to start this work.
This afternoon representatives from the GSPCA, St Andrews Floral Group, RSPB Guernsey, Guernsey Trees for Life and the Little Tree Project who are all part of the 'Going Wild at the GSPCA Project' welcomed the judges from the Insurance Corporation Conservation Awards.
The judging marks the anniversary from when St Andrews Floral Group started supporting the GSPCA in helping develop the grounds around our wonderful site in the heart of Guernsey.
The work undertaken has included everything from planting natural willow hedges to improving the bio-diversity on site.
On Monday the 3rd May the GSPCA team and St Andrews Floral Group were joined by 5 volunteers from Northern Trust who gave up a day in the office to help the team paint, decorate and other work at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
This month marks the year anniversary from when St Andrews Floral Group started supporting the GSPCA in helping develop the grounds around our wonderful site in the heart of Guernsey.
The work undertaken has included everything from planting natural willow hedges to improving the bio-diversity on site.
The work has a keen focus on conservation and last week saw another amazing charity and conservation group join in and help the flora, fauna and wildlife that live in and around the GSPCA.
The GSPCA has been situated in the heart of Guernsey in the Parish of St Andrews since 1929.
The GSPCA site has transformed over the years and especially in recent years with the kennels being rebuilt in 2005 and the new multi purpose animal welfare building in 2016.
The Animal Shelter helps in excess of 3000 animals every year that come though the doors, but there are many more supported by the work we do.
The GSPCA are hugely grateful to the St Andrews Floral Group and the Guernsey Probation Team for all of their help and support at the GSPCA.
Since 2012 the Guernsey Probation Service have not only supported the GSPCA at events, decorating, gardening, with group work and individual placements, there are many other ways in which they have helped.
This weekend a work group assisted a team of volunteers from the St Andrews Floral Group improve and clear the grounds and banks at the Animal Shelter on Rue Des Truchots.
