The GSPCA and Autism Guernsey’s 'Dolphin Discovery Trail' will help to raise vital funds for both worthwhile causes this year - with the first step on the trail taken with the arrival of the dolphins into Guernsey.
Following in the footsteps of 2023's 'Puffin Parade', which raised £140,000 for the charities thanks to the efforts of businesses, communities, and artists locally, the Dolphin Discovery Trail looks to entertain the masses as well as support fundraising.
The dolphins were safely delivered to the GSPCA over the festive break, meaning it is now up to artists and sponsors to collect them so they can be decorated, ready for display and then the auction later this year.
There are a few sponsor places left for this year's Dolphin Discovery Trail, and if you're like to join Express and other local businesses in taking part you can find out more on the GSPCA's website, or by downloading a sponsorship form HERE.
More artists are also needed to help complete some of the designs on already sponsored dolphins.

This year's fundraiser could be crucial for both Autism Guernsey and the GSPCA.
Autism Guernsey was told last year that it won't be receiving a grant from Children in Need for 2025. The States decided to intervene with a potentially service saving grant in the short term.
Meanwhile, the GSPCA is starting work on its big rebuild project.
