A taxi firm has pledged to donate 20p from every fare it takes in 2026 to support the work of the GSPCA.

Here2there, a taxi firm operated by Ian and Liz Champion, is promoting the initiative with signs in their taxis.

The GSPCA has also handed over collection tins which will be placed inside their two vehicles so passengers can donate extra cash to the animal charity if they wish.

The pair also offer pet-friendly transport.

The donations will help the charity which supports pets and wildlife 24/7, 365 days a year, including seal pups like Icicle, who is believed to have been separated from her mum during Storm Goretti.

The storm, which brought winds of over 100mph, caused “significant damage” to the GSPCA’s shelter in St Andrew, GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne said.

“Our priority remains the safety and care of the animals, and thanks to our preparations, all animals are safe,” he added.

Access to the shelter has been limited since last Thursday because of fallen trees on private land blocking some access routes. This did include a tree which fell on Route de Fauconnaires early today, which has since been cleared.

People should continue to take care if they need to visit, Mr Byrne said.

The GSPCA is “appealing for donations to help with the significant costs of repairs and recovery,” he added.
