It is with a very sad heart the GSPCA bring this message of the loss of one of our team.
One of the senior and longest standing members of staff at the GSPCA 'Richard Chandler' passed away recently and has left the team at the Shelter deeply saddened.
Richard was a wonderful man, who passionately cared for the Shelter and the team at the GSPCA and he will be sorely missed by all.
Today was Annie Janes last day at the GSPCA and it was rather emotional for her after 3 1/2 years at the Shelter in St Andrews.
Annie joined the team in 2011 as an Animal Care Assistant, although she has worked on all departments including the reception desk, ambulance and even assisting with welfare work.
One of the most memorable last year for Annie was when she removed a dog from a hot car on a sunny day in St Peter Port with the police.
Another memorable moment was when she helped rescue Hanois the grey seal pup at Pleinmont at the start of 2013.
Whenever we receive positive feedback about a staff member or volunteer, and also when the team nominate someone at the GSPCA we award them with a certificate of appreciation and here are those for this Winter 2014/15 quarter -
GSPCA Staff -
Ian Power—’Kip has done an amazing job refurbishing reception and it looks great’
Kevin Beausire—’Kevin has helped reception look great and he is always willing to help’
Helen Holmes—’Helen does so much for the Shelter and did a great job at the OSA shop’
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 –
Staff
Terry Buckley – ‘A star and a half in reception. So patient and kind with a good sense of humour. What more could you ask?’
Sue Le Goff – ‘Hard working and makes a good cuppa.’
Sarah Ozanne – ‘She is always happy to help anyone and willing to adapt her work schedule to cover other departments.’
The GSPCA couldn’t carry out saving, rescuing and caring for the thousands of animals that come through the doors every year without the support of the staff and volunteers that work tirelessly every day and night.
To recognise the team at the GSPCA we have been asking for nominations to recognise the staff and volunteers for their dedication, hard work and outstanding effort.
Nominations were accepted both in house, online and via the post and we received an overwhelming number of wonderful comments for five staff in particular and fifteen volunteers each quarter.
We have a very special team of individuals here at the GSPCA. Both staff and volunteers work around the clock to help animals in our care and around Guernsey 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
Each quarter we ask for nominations of those that have stood out amongst the team and here are the results for those nominated for Volunteer and Staff Member for Autumn/Winter 2014 -

The GSPCA staff would like to extend a huge thanks to the Guernsey Bereavement Service.
Volunteers from the Guernsey Bereavement Service Lesley and Clive kindly gave up two afternoons recently to spend time training staff and talking to the team about the challenging work that the GSPCA are faced with every day.
The GSPCA rescue, rehabilitate and rehome thousands of animals every year but the team are faced with daily situations that are often upsetting and extremely sensitive.
During June 5 staff got the chance to learn from some of the leading animal welfare organisations in the UK and meet many from around the world.
The GSPCA are part of the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes which is an organisation made up of hundreds of animal charities from around the UK. In a recent meeting after speaking to a member of staff from the Dogs Trust, Lorna Prince our Welfare Manager was invited to take part in their week long International Training Programme.
