Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We continue to take a cautions approach at the GSPCA to ensure our team are safe and well cared for, but we are again recruiting volunteers.”
“We have changed the process from the induction evenings to asking those 18 and over who are interested to complete an application form to get the ball rolling.”
“At this time we aren’t holding our induction evenings like we use to, instead once applications have been received we will contact each keen new volunteer to discuss what interests them and what availability they and we have to help the many animals at the Shelter and our events.”
“We have a huge array of roles and opportunities and especially keen to hear from those wanting to walk and help in our kennels whether it be for a few hours or full days each week.”
“Volunteering is an amazing experience which has so many benefits from helping the animals and our work to improving your CV, meeting new people to learning new skills.”
“For more information you can call 257261 or email me stevejbyrne@gspca.org.gg .”
“Without our team and volunteers we couldn’t do so much for the animals of Guernsey and our community.”
“We also love to hear from those that can offer specific skills or their team at their group or business.”
“There are many ways to get involved and to find out just a few ideas check out this link http://www.gspca.org.gg/about/how-your-business-can-help-gspca-corporate-sponsorship or as mentioned contact me stevejbyrne@gspca.org.gg .”
