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

Member Number:   003

Description Aims and Objectives

A society formed to prevent cruelty to animals, to rescue animals in distress, to provide shelter for stray, unwanted and sick animals, to encourage and foster by means of propaganda and education, kindness and consideration in the treatment of domestic and wild animals. In pursuance of these aims the society shall employ all moral and legal means to denounce acts of cruelty and neglect.

Organisation and Management

Overall management is by a President, Treasurer, and General Committee. The shelter manager is responsible for staffing and day-to-day running of the shelter. The G.S.P.C.A. is affiliated to the R.S.P.C.A. but is fully autonomous, and receives no funding from the R.S.P.C.A. whatsoever.

Finance

The cost of running the Animal Shelter and ambulance service is around £150,000 per annum (excluding sums required for major renewals of vehicles or buildings). Funds are raised from membership subscriptions, donations, legacies, collecting boxes, fund-raising events, a biannual flag day, commercial boarding of cats and dogs, and cremation service for pets. The society receives no grant from the States or any other source. Membership is open to all.
