As part of the Puffin Parade there will be many ways to get involved and support which you can find out more by checking out the website https://puffinparade.org.gg/ which has been made thanks to EnjoyCI.

There are so many to thank on the journey to get us where we are and there is still a lot of work behind the scenes, but there is one more appeal Autism Guernsey and the GSPCA would like to ask.

Can you help with raffle prizes?

In 2021 Autism Guernsey and the Guernsey Adult Literacy Project organised the Goat Trail which was extremely successful and raised over £80,000 for the charities.

Autism Guernsey and the GSPCA are now organising a further parade for 2023 – the Puffin Parade.

When deciding on what kind of statue to use for this event, it was agreed that we would keep to the theme of animals and birds synonymous with the Bailiwick.  Therefore it was agreed that we would use Puffins, although larger than their normal size.
