Last week the GSPCA celebrated 148 years and from those making donations to selling goods for us there we so many wonderful ways we were supported through this fun annual event.
We also saw a bumper week in donations from our Amazon Wish List, which you can see by going to - https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/25MJPPDAGXHL1?type=WishList
Many will be shopping online over the coming days and searching for bargains as gifts.
Have you thought of the hundreds of animals in our care this Christmas and the incredibly difficult year we have all faced and bringing some joy and helping animals at the GSPCA?
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “After the hardest year we have ever faced in living memory at the GSPCA for so many reasons maybe you can help bring some Christmas cheer to the animals in our care.”
11 year old Astrid Meadow has released her song ‘You’re A Ray of Sunshine’ online to raise funds for the GSPCA and Guernsey Animal Aid.
Astrid absolutely loves animals and the proceeds raised from those downloading her song will be donated to help animals in Guernsey.
Here are the three platforms where you can download this fantastic song.
With a record breaking number of hedgehogs in our care this year and over 500 animals at the moment we need you to help us help animals this Christmas.
From wildlife to domestic, those needing homes to rehabilitation there are many ways you can support our work and what a great gift helping animals in need could be for a loved one.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “With the biggest day of kindness and giving to others approaching we would love islanders to think of the many animals in our care.”
Many think that Guernsey hedgehogs like their cousins in the UK hibernate but sadly this is a rare occurrence for the majority of our spikey friends as they require a temperature of 5c or below for their body clock to switch to this Winter behaviour.
With the mild climate we have in the Channel Islands it is rare for a day to go by that we don’t rescue of help a hedgehog 365 days a year.
Thanks to Guernsey Post, Donkey Logic and Colour Monster leaflets were dropped around Guernsey yesterday to promote our fund raising appeal to help raise funds for a new Wildlife Hospital here in Guernsey.
With over 2000 wild animals through our doors every year we help more wild animals than domestic every year and with the current facilities decades old and in desperate need of repairs and updating the GSPCA are appealing for your support to build a better future for the wildlife of Guernsey.
There are a number of ways you can help donate to this much needed project –
Last week the States of Guernsey Planning Department gave the approval for the plans for the proposed new Wildlife Hospital at the GSPCA.
This much needed facility is planned to replace a number of old buildings some which date back to the 1940’s.
Last year the GSPCA launched a fundraising campaign for the facility and now the planning has been granted the fundraising for the facility is a major priority.
With just over £50,000 pledged or raised currently there is still a long way to the £900,000 required to build the GSPCA Wildlife Hospital.
Are you in the festive mood and looking to help those in need?
We have lots of great gifts and items on our Amazon Wish List that would help the 500+ animals in our care at the GSPCA.
There are items from under a £1 to much larger like the perspex sheets, from toys for the animals to steel bowls. With over 3000 animals through our doors every year there is a huge selection of items on our Amazon Wish List.
We have already had some wondeful gifts from toy mice to Science diet food and a huge thanks to all that have donated or given this Christmas.
Could you help the GSPCA with New Intensive Care Units this Christmas.
24 hours a day 7 days a week the GSPCA have animals housed in intensive care units to try and save their lives from baby hedgehogs to oiled birds, injured owls to fledglings, kittens to injured ferrets with over 3000 animals a year through our doors the needs for these units are endless.
Brinsea who are one of the leading manufactures in Intensive Care Units have recently launched a brand new unit which is much more mobile and easier to care for and clean.
