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.
Last night we held our sixth Volunteer Evening and 8th group Induction at the GSPCA of 2014.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager was on hand to greet and talk to the 10 new volunteers about the work of the Shelter and induct the keen new volunteers about the procedures and protocols at the Animal Shelter.
Some were interested in helping fund raise, others clean kennels, walk dogs, socialise cats and one doing his Duke of Edinburgh.
4 of the new volunteers have started this morning and the others over the next two weeks.

On Wednesday we held another volunteer induction afternoon and were pleased to welcome a further 8 volunteers to the GSPCA team.
James, Liz, Martin, Jo, Abbie, Zara, Kira and Sarah spent the afternoon finding out about the work of the GSPCA, how to work safely at the GSPCA, all about the fund raising events and other opportunities at the Animal Shelter.
Each of those attending had an area they would like to focus such as ferrets to cats, fund raising to dogs and we would like to thank them for attending and getting involved.
