In April the wonderful staff from The Travel Corporation joined the team at the GSPCA over 3 days, and recently on the 5th and 11th July they added another two.
This is the fifth year in a row team members from The Travel Corporation have helped at the GSPCA.
On Thursday 5th July Adele Ratchford and Michael Hind came to help and on Wednesday11th July Louise Tuck, Lisa Tullier & Donavan Elliot all helped out at the GSPCA in St Andrews.
We are hugely grateful to The Travel Corporation as this takes the volunteering days total to 18 at the GSPCA and they are here later this month, next month and also have a fund raiser being planned.
No only do they doo all of this 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 groups left after helping around the site they each had a tour behind the scenes and we have given them each a thank you certificate.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "Once again we are so grateful to The Travel Corporation for all of their wonderful support."
"The Travel Corporation staff were amazing and after their productive days help they were shown behind the scenes of the site and have been given a thank you certificate."
"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 Friday 27th July at the GSPCA with an afternoon 330pm start."
