We are always looking for volunteers to help at the Shelter in a variety of roles. We have been holdin a number of Volunteer Induction Evenings through 2013 and our next is planned for Wednesday 20th November at 6.30pm until 8pm at the Shelter in St Andrews
You need to be at least 14 years old to help at the Shelter but you are welcome if you are younger to attend to find out about fund raising and the work of the Shelter so if you are younger then you could still help. If you are under 14 years of age please talk to and come along with your parents or guardians.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'The Volunteer Induction Evenings have been a fantastic way to allow those interested in helping us with the many volunteer roles come along and get involved.'
'The evenings are relaxed and involve a chat about what we do, how you can get involved, a safety induction and then individual chats to get those interested started.'
'There are many volunteer roles from reception help to mucking out.'
'Any questions please call the Shelter on 257261 to find out more.'
'If you can't attend this evening we will be publicising our 2014 dates very soon.'
