The GSPCA are delighted to announce that we are a finalist in the Insurance Corporation Conservation Awards and need your vote - https://insurancecorporation.com/community/guernsey-vote-the-peter-walpole-peoples-choice-award
The awards recognise those people who undertake projects that display their concern for the environment. The aim of the competition is to bring these efforts to the attention of others and, as a consequence, to highlight the important environmental conservation work that takes place throughout the Channel Islands. The competition encourages conservation projects, no matter how large or small, and whatever stage in the process, emphasis being placed on nature conservation.
Created in honour of Peter Walpole, the founder of Insurance Corporation and the Conservation Awards. This award is entirely voted by the public with the winner receiving £500 towards their project. To vote as mentioned please visit https://insurancecorporation.com/community/guernsey-vote-the-peter-walpole-peoples-choice-award
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “The GSPCA are delighted to be a finalist in the Insurance Corporation Conservation Awards and we need your vote to help towards funds for our much needed Wildlife Hospital which will help 1000’s of wild sick and injured animals every year.”
“To vote it only takes a second and to do so please visit - https://insurancecorporation.com/community/guernsey-vote-the-peter-walpole-peoples-choice-award .”
“There are many ways to support our much needed Wildlife Hospital from Buying a Brick to sponsoring and area and check all the ways online or please do get in touch.”
The GSPCA were recently delighted to announce that planning has been approved for a new Wildlife Hospital at the GSPCA and you can help this much needed facility become a reality from Buying a Brick to becoming a Build Partner.
Could you Buy a Brick? We can put the certificate and Engraved Brick in the name of a friend, in memory, your company or a loved one and there are a number of goodies you will get as part of this kind gift helping us build for the future to help wildlife in Guernsey.
We now have permission which includes demolishing a number of very old buildings one of which dates back to the 1940’s.
We really need your help. We have raised an amazing £300,000 towards the estimated costs for the facility which are approximately £2,000,000 to build the GSPCA Wildlife Hospital and to remove the old buildings.
There are a number of ways you can help including the Buy a Brick such as donating to this much needed project or could your group, trust or business help in much bigger ways –

- Roof £263,000
- External Walls £180,000
- Glazing to whole build £70,000
- Each rehabilitation room £40,000
- Central feed kitchen £35,000
- Each marine rehabilitation room and access to pool £30,000

- Rehabilitation aviaries/pens - £15-20,000 each
- Receiving office where the public can drop animals off and they can be admitted and entered into the system - £25-30,000
With 5 seals currently at the GSPCA and over 100 hedgehogs, not to mention many other injured birds and wild rabbits you would think the GSPCA is extremely busy and you would be correct.
The new Wildlife Hospital will help house the 2500+ wildlife that come through the GSPCA doors each year and with our environment a major concern a facility that would help benefit future generations.
