Earlier this month the Prince's Trust team visited the GSPCA to see the work carried out and to see in what ways they could help at the Animal Shelter in Guernsey.
On the team were Rebekah Paduna, Graham De La Mare, James Roussel, Finley Evans, Stevie Ogier, Kallan Miller, Lawrence Ozanne and Sylvia Billien.
During the visit the group of 16 -25 year olds spoke to GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne about possible projects on site at the GSPCA and also ways they could raise funds to purchase the goods needed to carry out the work.
From painting to maintenance there were many projects needing fund so between the 10th and 14th October the team did everything from running a car wash at Guernsey College to running a stall selling cakes and running a tombola in Market Square.
Through the amazing fund raising efforts an amazing £350 was raised to purchase paint, brushes and other goods to help them with the work they needed to do.
Last week Rebekah Paduna, Graham De La Mare, James Roussel, Finley Evans, Stevie Ogier, Kallan Miller, Lawrence Ozanne and Sylvia Billien spent Monday to Friday at the GSPCA preparing and carrying out the painting and maintenance work and for some it was the first time they had undertaken this kind of work learning new skills and team work.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "It was wonderful to meet Rebekah Paduna, Graham De La Mare, James Roussel, Finley Evans, Stevie Ogier, Kallan Miller, Lawrence Ozanne and Sylvia Billien who not only enjoyed their tour of the GSPCA, they also got to raise funds and carry out much needed maintenance work at the Shelter and we are hugely grateful for everything they have done to help."
"The Prince's Trust is an amazing scheme and from all at the GSPCA it was wonderful to meet all involved and to have them help us here in so many ways at the GSPCA and we hope to see the group again in the future."
"There are many ways to help volunteer and fund raise for the GSPCA and we always love to hear from those that would like to help us."
