Dress code is Christmas themed and all staff, volunteers, friends, supporters and families are welcome to join us to celebrate all we have achieved during another busy year.
Children are also welcome and there will be lots to keep them entertained from space hoppers to tunnels to play in.
Last Night we held the last volunteer induction of 2018.
With the 19 new volunteers that attended last night this year alone we have now inducted 189 new volunteers, placements and work through these inductions and are graced with an average 120 volunteers helping each week.
We can't forget the 200+ volunteers from businesses, placements, voluntourists, work experience, community service and others that have also helped this year taking the total well in excess of 400 this year and we are lucky to have over 800 volunteers helping out each year at the GSPCA.
Over the last two months students from the Guernsey College Access Course have been volunteering at the GSPCA.
Each week they have been giving up an afternoon in the classroom to attend the GSPCA to help with work around the Animal Shelter and care for the 500+ animals.
Tim Pellett GSPCA Community and Training Officer said “The Guernsey College Access Course students have been a great help at the GSPCA.”
“From walking the dogs to feeding the many rabbits the Guernsey College Access Course have helped in many areas around the GSPCA.”
Over the last month the GSPCA have been delighted and extremely grateful to all of the help from the Guernsey Adults with Leaning Disabilities who have been helping out at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
On their first day last month they were met by the GSPCA Community and Training Officer Tim Pellett who gave them an induction and then able working alongside the Work to Benefit workforce they have helped with many tasks around the GSPCA.
On the 19th October 3 staff from Man Fund Management (Guernsey) Limited attended the GSPCA to give up a day in the office to help with the work around the Shelter.
The day was started with a quick induction followed by a picture at the front of the GSPCA.
They were then put to work helping paint a container next to our Memorial Garden which was in desperate need of a spruce up.
