Last Wednesday the GSPCA welcomed 14 new volunteers to the Animal Shelter and on Sunday another 3 keen cat lovers were taught about cat first aid.
Sarah Creasey the Animal Education and Welfare Officer inducted 14 new volunteers who were keen to help in all sorts of ways from fund raising to mucking out.
The evening consisted of introductions, all about the GSPCA, health and safety and the areas that those that attended can help here at the GSPCA.
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.
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 another 13 new volunteers joined the GSPCA team.
Every 8 weeks or so the GSPCA hold Volunteer Induction evennings and this week we welcomed the newest group to the team.
With well over 340 volunteers helping the Animal Shelter every year and over 60 new helpers since the beginning of the year we are very grateful to all the help and support we receive.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'The volunteer support we receive is just fantastic and means we can do so much.'
Last night we held the first of our Volunteer Evenings of 2014 and it turned out to be the busiest we have ever held.
With over 30 new faces learning about the GSPCA and being inducted into how to work safely as a volunteer many laughs were had and serious notes learnt.
Despite a wet windy evening the 30 plus group were very cosy at the Shelter enjoying a hot drink while GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne welcomed them and gave the talk and presentation.
