Both the GSPCA and Autism Guernsey do vital work within our community. Events such as last year’s Puffin Parade not only raise valuable funds but provide a huge amount of fun for islanders and visitors alike. This year’s Dolphins Trail promises to be both memorable and spectacular. Islanders will have heard of the financial challenges faced by both charities. as Autism Guernsey. has recently become aware that one of its major donors will be withdrawing its support by the end of the year. The GSPCA is looking to build much needed new facilities. This event will not only be a celebration of the achievements of two vital charities, but also a chance to support their work. Autism Guernsey and the GSPCA are appealing for sponsors for each of the 62 dolphins and we have had a few become available. This is your opportunity to sponsor one or more dolphins on behalf of your business, group, organisation, family or even as a gift or in your own name. Each sponsor may choose a suitable location, artist and have their details on the plinth in recognition of their support of the Dolphin Discovery Trail 2025. The Trail will be launched this Spring, culminating in an auction that will take place towards the end of Summer 2025, the proceeds of which will be shared by both charities.
