Guernsey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA)

Today Skipton Swimarathon posted ‘With just one month to go until this year’s Skipton Swimarathon, please make sure you don’t miss out and book your space today! We’ve already had so much support, and can’t wait to see you all splashing around for this year’s beneficiary, GSPCA, Guernsey SPCA. You can find out more here: www. swimarathon.org ‘ Theis year’s Skipton Swimarathon, which is taking place between 4-8 October, with the beneficiary being ourselves at the GSPCA, especially helping the marine life in the new Wildlife Hospital we hope to build very soon. Celebrating over 150 years of service to the island, the animal shelter is renowned for the consistent good works it does to help all animals, whether rescued seals in need of recuperation, or missing cats. The shelter, as it is also known, also offers training programmes for animal owners and is entirely reliant on public donations in order to survive. Steve Byrne, Manager of the GSPCA said: “We are so thankful that the Skipton Swimarathon’s committee has chosen to support us.” “The GSPCA can only exist with the support of the public so I would urge as many people as possible to form a team, take the plunge and raise as much as you can. I promise you it will be well spent.” “Lanes have been filling fast and with only a limited number left please do register soon to get involved.” John Stuart, Chairman of the Organising Committee said: “This year both the clubs who collaboratively put on this popular annual event (The Lions and Guernsey Round Table) considered various charitable projects, all with their own merits, but the GSPCA’s pleas for support as they celebrate 150 years to enable them to continue their proven and well-documented services touched the hearts of all of us. “We hope that everyone will support the Skipton Swimarathon and get behind the charity. I’d like to think that for every pound that our swimmers raise, it could be helping another animal in need.” The Skipton Swimarathon will take place between 4-8 October, with registration open to the public by visiting: www.swimarathon.org You can catch all updates on social media at: Facebook: https://facebook.com/SkiptonSwimarathon Facebook https://www.facebook.com/GuernseySPCA Twitter https://twitter.com/GSPCA LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/gspca-guernsey-965b0751/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/gspca_guernsey/ It is a BIG year for the GSPCA as we look to the BIGGEST BUILD in our history and there are many ways to support from getting involved with the Skipton Swimarathon to the follow Sign up and get involved with eh Skipton Swimarathon www.swimarathon.org Donate to our work and animals care https://giving.gg/donate/charity/2/Guernsey-Society-for-the-Prevention-of-Cruelty-to-Animals-(GSPCA) Please support the new Wildlife Hospital to replace the current building as well as sponsors, donors and help in many other ways, please click here for more details https://www.gspca.org.gg/blog/gspca-biggest-build-appeal Steve continued “From the Skipton Swimarathon to others, there are many ways to support our work with lots of ideas on our website www.gspca.org.gg or set up your own sponsored challenge by going to www.giving.gg or https://www.justgiving.com/gspca .” “For those from those want to give CSR time and skills to those wanting to help sponsor or support something from our Wish List http://www.gspca.org.gg/about/our-plans-wish-list .” “If your group or business would like to find out about spending a day at the Shelter please go to - http://www.gspca.org.gg/about/corporate-and-group-days “ “For other ways your business can help us here at the GSPCA please go to - http://www.gspca.org.gg/about/how-your-business-can-help-gspca-corporate-sponsorship “ “If you would like to volunteer then to find out more details here - http://www.gspca.org.gg/about/volunteers or to complete the volunteer application form please check out https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=gspca&method=online_form_html&formid=14 .” "We also have vacancies at the GSPCA and to find out more please visit https://www.gspca.org.gg/about/vacancies ." “We also have loads of ways to support us and to donate in this link including information on our BIGGEST BUILD appeal https://www.gspca.org.gg/page/gspca-celebrating-150-years .” “To see a list of the many events coming up check out those below or on any of our latest blogs https://www.gspca.org.gg/blog “ “We couldn’t do so much without your support.”
