Who is the GSPCA

With more than 148 years of caring for animals in Guernsey, the GSPCA is growing to meet the demands of the modern world with enthusiasm, optimism and energy. The role now, as in those early days, of preventing cruelty and promoting kindness to animals, through education, is as strong as ever. So much is achieved – through qualified and dedicated staff, our own welfare officer, friends and supporters throughout the island and through our association with the other animal welfare organisations around the world.

We are completely funded through the generosity of the local community and without donations, monthly giving, legacies and our members we wouldn’t be able to help the 1000’s of animals every year that come through our doors.

As a charitable organisation the GSPCA is headed by a committee that is elected from the membership each year.  The committee are members of the GSPCA that bring a variety of skills and expertise to drive the organisation forward and direct their team of staff, volunteers and supporters to help promote kindness and prevent cruelty to animals in Guernsey.
