FUNDRAISING and rehoming are just two of the topics on the agenda to be discussed when the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH) holds its annual conference on March 14 and 15 at the Copthorne Hotel Effingham Gatwick in Copthorne, West Sussex.

Other topics are likely to be: why animals are abandoned, fundraising, digital technology, rehoming, reuniting and controlling infection in the kennel/cattery environment. The conference will engage delegates in a variety of informative and thought provoking topics.

The conference is an opportunity to learn about new and developing insights in the world of animal welfare. The event is a valuable tool for breed rescues to come together and meet with like-minded people to learn and share experiences and ideas as well as find out about the benefits of membership of the ADCH.

 The ADCH is a dog and cat welfare organisation which provides a communication link between charities, and the conference is open to all breed rescue societies. The conference runs over two days and includes speakers from the Blue Cross, Dogs Trust, RSPCA and Wood Green amongst others. The Kennel Club is a member of the ADCH and will be in attendance.

Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club Secretary said: “Once again this year, the ADCH conference offers a range of insightful and informative topics that will be valuable to breed rescues, and I hope that such organisations around the UK will be able to attend. The event provides a great opportunity for meeting other people within animal welfare, and gives rescue charities the chance to learn about a number of relevant subjects.”
