The Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH) is delighted to announce the re-election of Giles Webber, Chief Executive of Birmingham Dogs Home, as Chair for a second term. Giles, who was first elected by members in 2021, will continue to bring his extensive experience and commitment to the role.

Since the ADCH central team works from home, every day is #BringYourDogToWorkDay for us! While remote work has its perks, it can sometimes feel lonely.

It’s National Volunteer Week, and here at ADCH, we’re celebrating the invaluable contributions of our amazing volunteers, who generously give their time, expertise, and passion to support ADCH.

The ADCH Conference 2024 proved to be an outstanding success, drawing a record-breaking attendance of over 550 delegates to the Telford International Centre from 14th to 15th May. Members attended from all eight ADCH jurisdictions, with some delegates travelling from as far as the USA.

On Friday, the central team met at Birmingham Dogs Home to roll up their sleeves and pack over 500 delegate bags!

It has come to our attention that ‘companies’ are contacting some of our Members and Exhibitors to offer them sale of attendee lists from ADCH Conference 2024. Unfortunately, this has become a more common occurrence for association conferences in recent years and is a sector wide problem.

Excitement is building as the ADCH team wrap up their final visit to Telford International Centre, before #ADCH2024!

Yesterday, ADCH Executive Director, Rebecca Cooper, visited members at Blue Cross Burford, engaging in insightful discussions and witnessing a demo with the animal behaviour team.
