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.
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.
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.
Tomorrow at 2pm at the GSPCA we have a Volunteer Induction Afternoon.
We have arranged additional inductions to help those off for the summer and looking to help animals in Guernsey get involved at the GSPCA.
To volunteer on site with the animals you must be over 14 years of age, but we are always looking for volunteers to help with fund raising of all ages.
You are welcome to attend the induction if you are under 14 with permission of your parent or guardian.
At the GSPCA we hold Volunteer Induction Evenings every 6 to 8 weeks but with the Summer upon us and many willing volunteers over 14 wanting to help at the Shelter and those under 14 able to help at the many fund raisers we are at we held an afternoon induction session yesterday where we greeted 11 new volunteers to the team.
We really couldn't achieve all of the fantastic work we carry out at the GSPCA without the wonderful volunteer team we have at the GSPCA and we really do appreciate each and every one.
With a peak in interest of students breaking up for the summer and asking to volunteer at the GSPCA we are holding an induction afternoon on Tuesday 22nd July at 2pm at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
To volunteer at the GSPCA you have to be at least 14 years of age. If you are under this age you can come along to learn about the work we do and also find out how you can raise funds and help at our many events.
At the GSPCA we are currently appealing for volunteers to help in a few specific roles.
Over the summer months we have many fund raisers coming up and we are at many of the major events.
Next week we have a fun games stall all week in Market Square from Monday 21st to Saturday 26th July and we would love it if we could find helpers and volunteers to give a hand.
Each day we are in St Peter Port between 9am and 4pm and if you can help please get in touch.
