Guernsey’s animal shelter has reached a major milestone in its Big Build project – but is still calling for help to raise the remaining £2.2m to “bring this vision to life”.
The GSPCA confirmed this week that work on the foundations for a new Wildlife Hospital is now underway.
The facility will feature state-of-the-art treatment and rehabilitation spaces for local wildlife, including hedgehogs, birds, seals, and marine animals.
“Laying the foundations for the Wildlife Hospital is a huge moment for us and for animal welfare in Guernsey,” GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne said.
“Every year we help thousands of wild animals, and this facility will give them the best chance of recovery and release back into the wild.”
Mr Byrne added: “We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported the Big Build so far, but we still need help to raise the remaining £2.2 million to bring this vision to life.”
The charity also revealed that two rescued seal pups, who were rehabilitated in the care of the GSPCA, will imminently be released back into the wild.
