On Wednesday the 26th November we held our eleventh and final Volunteer Induction Evening at the GSPCA of 2014.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager and Emma Trousdale Animal Care Assistant were on hand to talk to the 17 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 raising, others clean kennels, walk dogs, socialise cats and even those doing their Duke of Edinburgh.

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.

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.
