Thank you to The Travel Corporation staff who helped at the GSPCA with a mountain of donations to puppy play time

Submitted by Steve on 23:07, 21st Oct, 2015 | 0

Today 6 staff from The Travel Corporation joined the team at the GSPCA and gave up a day in the office to help out.

The team of staff  arrived at 9am where they received a short induction before helping around site with the 300 animals at the Shelter in St Andrews and a mountain of donations.

A number of the group were versed in helping at the GSPCA after helping last and earlier this year so had a grasp on many of the roles but all were surprised with what they got to do.

RECRUITING - GSPCA Volunteer Night and Weekend Wardens - Can you help us man our animal ambulance?

Submitted by Steve on 11:04, 10th Aug, 2015 | 0

We are always looking for volunteers to help us at the GSPCA and we are especially looking for volunteer wardens.

We have provided a 24 hour rescue service for over 40 years and we couldn't do this without our wonderful team of volunteers.

Our Volunteer Wardens help ensure between 6pm and 8am 7 days a week any rescues, collections of strays or other emergencies are responded to.

We are looking for additional volunteers to help provide both the night cover and to help on Saturday and Sunday between 8am and 6pm.
