Only 2 days to go and Natalie Randall one of the Shelter volunteers has stepped up to join GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne, Animal Collection Officer Geoff George and Animal Care Assistant Tony Gallie who are all doing the whole 38.5 miles around the Island to help raise funds for the annual event and the 2013 chosen charities.
The walk has now become one of Guernsey's key fund raising events for local charities and attracts several hundred participants every year determined to complete the nearly forty mile route.
If we didn't have volunteers at the GSPCA we couldn't exist, as every day kind individuals give up their own time to help the Animal Shelter and the work that goes on around the clock.
In a very basic calculation volunteers gave up well in excess of 13'000 hours during 2012 which is the same as 300 people working one 40 hour week.
From dog walkers to fund raisers, night wardens to receptionists, gardening to mucking out the GSPCA are grateful to each and every person that gives up their time to help the many animals in our care.

Are you looking to send your staff on a day of volunteering and team building?
At the GSPCA we can offer businesses and groups a day of organised activities that helps benefit us as a charity, the animals in our care and give your team an experience like no other where at the end of their time at the Shelter they will leave knowing that they have made a difference.
The GSPCA would like to extend a HUGE thanks to everyone that has helped at the many events over the last few weeks. From Guernsey Festival to Chaos, the West to the North Show, Donkey Derby to Vale Earth Fair and of course the dozens of volunteers that helped collected all over Guernsey on Saturday during our flag day. The money is still being counted and figures of the fantastic effort will be released soon.
We are now calling all volunteers that can help at our Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday on the 9th September to meet up for a briefing before the day.
Today the GSPCA welcomed 16 volunteers from KPMG who helped in all areas around the Animal Shelter.
The volunteers started from 8.30am in the morning and after a short safety induction were quickly placed with staff around the Shelter to help with their duties and care for the many animals at the GSPCA.
On Friday last week the GSPCA welcomed a team of 11 Specsaver staff who spent the day volunteering at the Shelter.
Suzanne, Sylvia, Gill, Sadie, Emma, Jason, Julie, Polly, Maurice, Melissa and Chris arrived at 9am sporting very nice clean Specsaver t-shirts, but it wasn’t long before they were well worn in.
The team had a quick welcome and induction, then were split into groups to help the animal care departments.
