ADCH Celebrates 40 Years in 2025!

In 2025, ADCH proudly marks an incredible milestone: 40 years of supporting and uniting dog and cat rescue and rehoming organisations across the UK, Ireland, Channel Islands, and Isle of Man.

Since 1985, ADCH has been at the heart of fostering collaboration, sharing innovation, and driving progress in animal welfare. This anniversary is a time to reflect on our journey, celebrate our community, and look to the future. 

The celebrations will centre around our 2025 Annual Conference. This flagship event will honour ADCH’s legacy and offer an inspiring opportunity to connect with peers, engage with thought-provoking speakers, and share best practices in animal care, welfare, and centre management. 

To commemorate this milestone, ADCH is proud to introduce the Solidarity Membership in 2025. This exciting initiative aims to strengthen partnerships across our community and amplify our collective impact on dog and cat welfare. 

Share your ADCH Stories! 

We’d also love to hear from you as part of our celebrations. Do you have a favourite photo, a cherished memory, or a story about how ADCH has impacted your organisation? Perhaps you’ve formed lasting friendships or experienced transformative moments through your connection with ADCH. Share your stories, photos, or historical materials with us by emailing [email protected].  

This milestone belongs to every member of the ADCH community—members, partners, and supporters—who have been part of our incredible journey. Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication to the welfare of dogs and cats. 

Let’s make 2025 a remarkable year of celebration, reflection, and renewed commitment to improving the lives of animals in need. Together, for dogs and cats!
