On Sunday the 9th September the GSPCA held the first ever Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday along the Esplanade in Guernsey welcomed 1000's of supporters.

Between the hours of 10am and 4pm the GSPCA, along with dozens of charities, trade stands and food stalls held an event to celebrate animals in Guernsey.

100's of dogs turned out for the fun dog show, and dozens of photos were brought along for the animal picture show, over 40 Giant Animals entertained the crowds, bands thanks to Chaos Events played for the crowds as well as the many other events went on through the day brought smiles and laughter.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'We really couldn't believe the turn out.'  'It was amazing to see thousands of islanders enjoying themselves.'  'We are so grateful to everyone that helped and supported.'  'A special mention must go to Lorna Prince GSPCA Welfare Manager that helped organise the day as well as the staff and volunteers that have been working for weeks in the run up to the day to make it a success.'  'Money is still coming in from the Mascot Race but we are hoping that we have raised not only lots of money to help animals in Guernsey but also awareness about animal welfare.'

'We have so many people to thank that made it such a wonderful day.'
