The Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH) is a voluntary membership organisation for dog and cat rescue and rehoming charities. ADCH promotes the safeguarding of welfare standards for dogs and cats needing new homes and supports those working and volunteering in the sector.

Join Us at the ADCH Conference 2025!

Following the outstanding feedback from our sell-out event in 2024, we are thrilled to return to Telford International Centre on 8–9 May 2025.

As the UK’s largest animal welfare conference, the ADCH Conference gathers around 550 delegates from the UK, Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands, and Isle of Man.

It’s the essential meeting place for professionals across the sector to share knowledge, insights, and best practices in animal care, welfare, and centre management.

This year’s conference holds special significance as we celebrate ADCH’s 40th anniversary, making it an unforgettable event that you won’t want to miss!
