On Tuesday 3rd May we hold our fifth volunteer induction of 2016.
We are blessed with over 600 volunteers helping the GSPCA every year and on average over 100 every single week.
Here are full details on getting involved -
We are always looking for volunteers to help at the Shelter in a variety of roles.
Last Thursday we greeted 25 new volunteers who packed the Shelter in St Andrews.
The volunteer induction was given by GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne which started just after 6.30pm.
The new volunteers sat in an area with two snakes in need of a home and the group found out about the work of the GSPCA, how they could help and an induction on working safely.
A pack was handed to each and also a certificate of attendance and thanks.
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.
Last night we greeted over 16 new volunteers who packed the Shelter in St Andrews.
The volunteer induction was given by GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne which started just after 6.30pm.
The new volunteers enjoyed a few biscuits and the group found out about the work of the GSPCA, how they could help and an induction on working safely.
A pack was handed to each and also a certificate of attendance and thanks.
After the talk which took just over an hour each of the interested volunteers had the opportunity to have a chat with the GSPCA Manager and set a date to start.
Last night we greeted over 2 dozen volunteers and friends who packed the Shelter in St Andrews.
Of the 28 attendees 21 were interested in starting volunteering and finding out about the GSPCA.
The volunteer induction was given by GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne which started just after 6.30pm.
The new volunteers enjoyed sandwiches which had been kindly donated and the group found out about the work of the GSPCA, how they could help and an induction on working safely.
A pack was handed to each and also a certificate of attendance and thanks.
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.
