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.

TEN members of staff from the Medical Specialist Group gave up a sunny Saturday this weekend to undertake voluntary work at the GSPCA.

The Guernsey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has a huge variety of duties that need to be completed on a daily basis and so are very grateful when islanders volunteer to give them a hand.

As well as the obvious chores of feeding and exercising animals and cleaning out the kennels and cattery, there are also a number of site-maintenance jobs.
