Next week marks Volunteers Week a time when many organisations and groups highlight the opportunities and thank their volunteers for their amazing support and time across Guernsey and the UK.
The GSPCA couldn't achieve all of the work that is carried our 24/7 without the 600+ volunteers that help at the Shelter and with all of our work across Guernsey.
Next Wednesday during Volunteers Week we will be holding our sixth volunteer induction of 2016.
We are blessed with many volunteers helping the GSPCA every year and on average over 100 every single week.

This week two young ladies interested in an animal care career have been helping out at the GSPCA.
Nathalie Cloarec and Tia Barnett from Les Beaucamps High spent this week working with the team at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
Where as many of their fellow students were carrying out work experience 9am to 5pm, Nathalie and Tia although only worked a 4 day week but their shifts were much longer being from 8am in the morning until 6pm at night as the staff at the GSPCA have to work.

Last November at the GSPCA we met Alex Miller.
Alex came to the GSPCA through the Guernsey Employment Trust looking to volunteer and help at the Animal Shelter mainly with administration and accounts.
Little did Alex know that his help would broaden to helping with everything in the office to selling Christmas trees.
Since November Alex has helped Monday to Friday each week in the mornings assisting the team in a variety of roles.
Mostly based in the office with Helen Holmes helping with the work that goes on behind the scenes.
