On Wednesday 22nd November a team of staff from The Travel Corporation gave up a day in a dry warm office to help out at the GSPCA.
The team of 6 staff arrived at 9am where they received a short induction before helping around site with the 300 animals at the Shelter in St Andrews.
Richelle Swart, Amber Holt, Deanna Le Page, Lisa Goman, Wayne Ogier and Stacey Gallienne helped with everything from the domestic animals to the wildlife on site.
Last Wednesday a team of staff from Credit Suisse gave up a day in the office to help out at the GSPCA.
This is the second group of Credit Suisse staff to help at the Shelter this month and the GSPCA are extremely grateful to all of their help.
Last night at the GSPCA we held another Volunteer Induction Evening and were pleased to welcome 14 new volunteers to the team.
Three were interested in volunteering as part of their Duke of Edinburgh, 3 for their work experience in school and 8 individuals looking to help with everything from events to walking the dogs.
Emma Trousdale GSPCA Staff Member inducted the group by talking about the work of the GSPCA, volunteering at the Shelter and also a safety induction.
At the GSPCA we feel education has a huge part to play in the world we live and knowing what to do whether helping at the GSPCA, at home or in your work place is extremely important.
This Wednesday we have a Volunteer Induction Evening. If you are interested in helping the GSPCA then we ask for you to pop along at 6.30pm to find out about the GSPCA and a short safety induction. The evening takes around 90 minutes and is at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
Hat-trick helpers from Richmond Fiduciary Group spent a third day in three years helping out at the GSPCA.
Each year since 2012 staff from Richmond Fiduciary Group have given a day from their desk to come up and help clean out, feed, exercise and get involved with all sorts of work at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
Last Monday three staff from Credit Suisse gave up a day in the office for a pair of wellies to help out at the GSPCA.
Chrissie Robert, Stef Mella and Gordon Irish arrived just after 9am where they had a short induction from Animal Welfare and Education Officer Sarah Creasey.
Sarah then collected their completed paperwork and got a picture of the group looking clean and tidy with Annie the shitzu before setting them to work around the Animal Shelter.
We are always looking for volunteers to help at the Shelter in a variety of roles.
You need to be at least 14 years old to help at the Shelter. Although if you are younger then you could still help. If you talk to your parents or guardians they may can help you with fund raising for the Animal Shelter.
Each quarter staff and volunteers are nominated for certificates of appreciation for their hard work and commitment by one another, our supporters and general public.
For the Summer quarter here are the nominations and the reasons for those nominations –
Staff
Terry Buckley – ‘A star and a half in reception. So patient and kind with a good sense of humour. What more could you ask?’
Sue Le Goff – ‘Hard working and makes a good cuppa.’
Sarah Ozanne – ‘She is always happy to help anyone and willing to adapt her work schedule to cover other departments.’
Last night at the GSPCA we held one of our regular induction evenings.
13 new volunteers attended and many with friends and parents to learn all about the GSPCA, how to work safely at the Shelter and to set a date to start volunteering.
Over the next few weeks the group of 13 volunteers are set to start in various roles and the first start this morning.
Many will also be helping at our Animal Castle Day at Castle Cornet this Sunday.
This morning we welcome Joanna Hallas, Chris Le Prevost and Paula Le Maitre starting at the Shelter.
