Last week the wonderful staff from The Travel Corporation joined the team at the GSPCA.
This is the sixth year in a row team members from The Travel Corporation have helped at the GSPCA and we are incredibly grateful to them.
On Thursday 11th April 5 of their team arrived just after 9am for a full day of hard graft helping out at the GSPCA in St Andrews.
We are hugely grateful to The Travel Corporation as this takes the volunteering days total to 21.
Not only do they do so much for us at the GSPCA, but they are also part of our Build Partner sponsorship scheme which is a way businesses can donate to towards our new multi purpose animal welfare building and be part of our future and we also look forward to them helping later this month.
Before the group left after helping around the site they had a tour behind the scenes with GSPCA raining and Community Officer Tim Pellett.
Tim said “The Travel Corporation team really enjoyed their Corporate Day with us and were a great help around our Poison Garden and pond area.”
“They also had a brilliant day helping tidy the Memorial Gardens for the Half Term expected foot-fall and were able to support Ann Wragg and Nigel Clarke with weeding and preparing the pond areas for seeding.”
“After a full days work we had the opportunity to tour the Shelter and see a number of the animals for re-homing.”
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "Once again we are so grateful to The Travel Corporation for all of their wonderful support."
"We always love to hear from businesses that would like to help or support us and you can call 257261 for more details, check out our website or email me on [email protected]."
"A huge thank you to the team from The Travel Corporation who really were such a fantastic help and thank you for being part of our Build Partner sponsorship scheme and we are really looking forward seeing them again in later this week and next month.”
"The next volunteer induction evening for anyone interested in helping out is this Thursday 9th May at the GSPCA for a 630pm start."
