On Tuesday we held our first volunteer evening of 2016.
We welcomed 6 new volunteers and will see 4 of those starting this weekend.
Without volunteers we really couldn't care for the 300 animals at the Shelter and help thousands more every year.
The GSPCA operates 24 hours 7 days a week and we are fortunate to have over 600 volunteers that help ensure we can help animals around the clock as well as raise the £2000 a day it costs to run the GSPCA.
Tomorrow night we hold the first volunteer induction of 2016.
We are blessed with over 600 volunteers helping the GSPCA every year and we look forward welcoming those interested tomorrow night.
Here are full details on getting involved -
We are always looking for volunteers to help at the Shelter in a variety of roles.
This Saturday is our GSPCA team party and if you haven't seen already we would love to invite all volunteers and helpers along tomorrow night at 7pm.

Last night the GSPCA welcomed 15 new faces and 11 new volunteers within the group.
For a number of years we have been running volunteer induction evenings and sessions. In 2014 over 200 volunteers were inducted and welcomed to the team, not including the many volunteers that helped through the year, at events, through Corporate Social Responsibility Days and Voluntourists. This year a further 200+ joined us at the GSPCA with a further 200+ that spent a day or more through a corporate day and 25 Voluntourists from the cruise liners.
Last night the GSPCA welcomed 17 new volunteers into the team.
Sarah Creasey GSPCA Welfare & Education Officer and Sarah Ozanne Animal Care Assistant welcomed the group of new volunteers.
On what was a cold and dark evening new faces started arriving just after 6pm ready for the 6.30 start.
The two Sarah's gave a presentation on what we do at the GSPCA, how they can help and an induction in our rules and working safely for the GSPCA.
