ADCH Celebrates Volunteers’ Week 2025!

ADCH are proud to be celebrating Volunteers’ Week 2025 – it’s a fantastic chance to say THANK YOU to all volunteers for everything they do!

Across our ADCH network, volunteers play a vital role – whether supporting the work of ADCH directly or helping one of our member organisations – your time, care, and compassion change lives every single day.

But volunteering isn’t just about what you give – it’s about what you gain. New skills, lasting friendships, a sense of purpose, and the joy of making a real difference for animals and people alike.

Help us

ADCH receives no government funding to pay for the running of the charity. We rely on sponsorship, membership fees and the generosity of supporters to keep us going.
