On Thursday 7th September we held our 11th volunteer induction at the GSPCA and met 3 new helpers keen to learn how they can get involved with us here at the Animal Shelter adding to the 131 inducted this year taking this years inducted volunteers to a total of 134 not including others that have helped from businesses, groups and other organisations.
The induction took place with GSPCA Animal Care Assistant Seb Goman who showed a video of GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne talking to the group about who we are, what we do, the ways volunteers can help and an induction of how to help safely to all the new volunteers who were aged from 13 years upwards.
Although volunteering at the Animal Shelter starts at 13 for those under 13 they are always welcome to attend and get involved with events and fund raising and we have a number helping this weekend for our Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday.
At the end of the induction each spoke to Seb to set dates and times to start.
At the end of the induction all were given a certificate of attendance and a pack of information including a hand book.
Seb Goman GSPCA Animal Care Assistant said “It was lovely to meet Zoe Pinchemain, Will Rowe and Kiam Ingrouille earlier this month at our volunteer induction evening.”
“From helping us on kennels to helping with fund raising there are many ways volunteers can get involved with the varied work we undertake at the GSPCA.”
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "We are blessed with so many amazing volunteers that help us around the clock 7 days a week at the GSPCA."
"A warm welcome and thanks for coming from all at the GSPCA to Zoe, Will and Kiam."
"We hold regular volunteer inductions for those interested in getting involved with the next set for Thursday 21st September at 6.30pm."
"Every week we see over 120 volunteers and they help us cover the 24/7 work we carry out 365 days a year, but with over 550 animals in our care there is plenty to do and we are always keen to get those interested involved with the work we do helping thousands of animals every year in Guernsey."
"We regularly see in excess of 50 Duke of Edinburgh placements each week as well as many on back to work schemes, students and other placements from a variety of organisations and we are always happy to help where we can and really appreciate the support for the work we carry out 24/7."
