TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT 2024
INTRODUCTION
Period covered: From 1[st] Jan to 31[st] Dec 2024
Charity name: International Companion Animal Management Coalition (ICAM) Charity registration number: 1192921
Charity address: 4 Westcroft, Comberton, Cambridge, CB23 7EJ, UK
ICAM is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) Association. As an association, ICAM is governed by an ‘Association’ model constitution with voting members other than its charitable trustees. Our members are core to ICAM, representing our combined knowledge and expertise in companion animal population management and providing strategic direction to our organisation. We benefited from seven voting members in 2024 and two non-voting members.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objects of ICAM are:
-
The advancement of animal welfare through the promotion of humane methods of managing populations of companion animals, particularly but not exclusively dogs and cats, to the public and those with responsibility for the control of these populations, to prevent cruelty and suffering among animals for the public benefit.
-
To advance education for the public benefit in the management of companion animal populations by providing research, information and guidance.
Our main activity in 2024 to address the promotion of humane methods of managing populations of companion animals has been the launch of the Positive Cities initiative to celebrate those cities that have engaged in humane management and exploring the contribution dog population management can make to economic development and human rights through university partnerships. By establishing the link between a positive dog-human relationship and these different areas of the Sustainable Development Goals, we aim to increase the political
interest and investment in humane dog population management. Hence achieving public benefit by preventing cruelty and suffering among unmanaged or cruelly managed companion animals.
Our main activities to advance education for the public benefit in the management of companion animal populations has been launching our new mode of engagement – ICAM Conversations – encouraging new learners of our three online courses in dog population management and running our second virtual international conference. These activities attracted global interest from a wide range of countries (our conference attracted registrations from 121 countries and learners on our courses are from 83 countries). Our 2 newest online courses provide a curated and engaging journey through our guidance on dog population management, designed to suit implementers and policy makers. Our virtual conference provided a rare platform for the dissemination of learnings in dog and cat population management; we showcased the work of 41 speakers, presenting their work in 16 different countries, as well as regional as global perspectives. We have also continued to support and disseminate our freely available street survey tool for dogs and cats: Talea. By making the measurement of roaming dog and cat populations more accessible, we have enabled evidence-based design, monitoring and evaluation of humane management interventions. Hence supporting organisations and governments to achieve more effective humane management of animal populations.
Our 2 core guidance documents (DPM guide and M&E guide) are now both available in 9 languages. Our 2 newest online courses (Implementing DPM and DPM for Policymakers) have been machine translated into 7 additional languages and are undergoing professional translator checks ready for launch in early 2025.
Public benefit statement: In setting ICAM’s objectives and planning activities, our trustees have shown due regard for, and given careful consideration to, the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance.
To achieve our charitable purposes, ICAM has established 6 strategic objectives. The following outlines our activities and achievements under each of these objectives in 2024:
| Strategic objective |
Activities and achievements in 2024 |

A new WSAVA capacity for committee was formed in 2021 called 'reproduction control' to write competent reproduction control guidelines in collaboration with the 'animal wellness neutering of and welfare' committee (Chaired by Nat Lee in 2024, ICAM member dogs and cats representative), however the level of collaboration was not as close as matches the expected. humane population The guidelines were published in 2024 – the section describing

received a lot of criticism – we wrote to WSAVA with a summary of ICAM member’s concerns. WSAVA have agreed that this chapter needs to be rewritten and will be publishing an amendment in 2025 – they have asked for ICAM involvement in the rewriting. |
|---|---|
| 4. WOAH standards are accurate and accessible to national governments, plus supported by tools that allow them to monitor their progress towards compliance at national and local level |
WOAH chapter 7.7 adopted by their members in May 2022 providing a humane and evidence-based standard for DPM with strong overlap with ICAM DPM guide. When developing our DPM courses, we ensured consistency with this standard and, where appropriate, referenced and quoted the WOAH text in our course content – this supported our request for labelling by WOAH that was agreed in principle in 2024. |
| 5. Importance of cat and dog population management is recognised within global priorities / Mainstreaming cat and dog population management within global framework (SDGs) |
Positive Cities is launched with 3 beacon cities signed up and campaign assets created (website, logo, key messages, physical event assets). Launch event “Paws for Progress” at World Urban Forum 12 successful, with full capacity audience - one of only a handful of events to do so among approximately 600 sessions. Advocacy toolkit complete and in design phase, will be launched in Q1 2024. Strategic relationships built in 2024: Established promising dialog with Metropolis about delivering a series of global workshops for cities on humane population management. Initiated contacts with influential organisations including Bloomberg Cities, Commonwealth Local Government Forum, and UN-Habitat Africa about potential collaborations. Made substantial progress in developing a sponsorship relationship with Mars, with discussions now at an advanced stage although not yet finalised. Positive engagement with UAR providing a consistent and objective voice for dog welfare and population management, outputs include: - ICAM Director (Dr Elly Hiby) was invited speaker at the Rabies in Asia and Pacific meeting in July 2024 – title ‘Dog Population Management contribution to rabies control in the Asia Pacific region’. - ICAM has been invited by UAR to propose a new working group on dog population management in 2025, to establish a wider position within the forum and provide communication materials on DPM to be used by members. Social cost benefit of DPM scoping review completed and will be published Q1 2025 – finding was that there are very few published examples of cost- benefit analysis of DPM. Submitted datasets for analysis by Zurich economics team were all weak in different areas – working with organisations that submitted data to fill gaps. Updated review of evidence that children are at risk of harmful effects if witnessing violence towards animals is drafted, submission to journal in Q1 2025. |
| 6. ICAM and ICAM member tools are |
Conducted our second virtual (5th in the series, first 3 had been in-person, 2ndwas our first virtual) international conference on dog and cat population management over 5 days in June 2024, with 1733 from 121 countries (2023 |
| recognised and utilised to improve cat and dog population management practice globally |
conference: 1798 registrations from 133 countries) and presentations 41 speakers from 16 countries, plus regional/global perspectives. Evaluation survey reported Net Promotors Score of 84 (same for speakers and attendees). All for £2.7K, thanks to Zoom support from ICatCare. Our 3 DPM courses on Talent learning management system https://icam.talentlms.com/) have attracted 418 registered learners from 83 different countries in 18 months (launched in June 2023, 169 learners from 57 countries in the last 6 months of 2023): Implementing DPM is the most popular course and has the highest completion rate (37%). We secured agreement with WOAH on content wording and have updated the English course content – courses are now being translated into 7 additional languages, aimed to be complete and available online by end Q1 2025. We are in discussion with WOAH on how these courses will be accessible to their learners – on their WOAH platform or linked to ours. Launched ICAM Conversations with 3 events in 2024 (RPO, Dog CNVR in Asia, Cat TNR in Europe) – all over subscribed – report resulting from each Conversation shared with attendees. In 2025 we will develop this mode of engagement to reach a wider audience. |

FINANCIAL REVIEW
ICAM’s principal source of funding is its membership, either through the payment of annual membership fees (8,000 GBP in 2024, increasing to 10,000 GBP in 2025) or through grants (3 grants in total from ICAM members - 2 grants provided by World Animal Protection and 1 grant supported by both Battersea and Dogs Trust).
In 2024, we exceeded the threshold (250K) for payments/receipts accounting and are now accounting under the accruals basis. Updating our 2024 accounts to an accruals basis required the following adjustments:
-
Accruing Jan 2024 expenditure that related to expenses in 2023 back to 2023 (e.g. payments to consultancy time spent in Dec 2023), and accruing Jan 2025 expenditure that related to expenses in 2024 into our 2024 accounts (e.g. HMRC payroll expenses paid in Jan 2025 that related to employment in 2024).
-
Identifying payments made in 2023 that were pre-payments of services relating to (at least in part) activities in 2024, and the same in 2024, identifying payments in 2024 relating to services that related to 2025 (e.g. Talent LMS subscription that runs July 2024 to July 2025).
Progress on our advocacy strategic objective improved dramatically in 2024 with the recruitment of our Director of Advocacy, leading to expenditure in 2024 that utilised previous year’s underspend of the World Animal Protection grant allocated for advocacy work. We end 2024 with 50K remaining of this restricted grant and a further 57K to receive in 2025 – the final year of this 5-year World Animal Protection grant - all of which is planned for expenditure in 2025.
The World Animal Protection grant that supports the development of our DPM online courses also ends in 2025. This grant is currently overspent by just under 1K, as the cost of translating the foundational ICAM guides (DPM and M&E) was not included in the original budget. In 2025, we will complete translation and launch of the courses in 7 further languages, leading to a final proposed overspend of 21K. We will transfer from our unrestricted funds to cover this overspend.
We end 2024 with 2% overspend on cash expenditure compared to our 2024 budget, due to greater costs of holding our first advocacy event at the World Urban Forum than were budgeted.
Our cash position is 412,526 GBP at the end of 2024 reflects receipt of the new ‘Global Enablers Grant’ at the end of Dec 2024, this is to support our expenditure under this grant in 2025.
Our reserve policy is to maintain an Operating Reserve fund equal to 3 months of average operating costs; in 2024 this equated to 24K, in 2025 this will increase to 43K.
Our unrestricted funding from membership fees has not increased at the same rate as our restricted grant funding, however, our core costs have increased significantly over the years. To sustain our growth and support our delivery of restricted grants, we need to increase our unrestricted funding in future years. This will be helped by a modest increase in membership fees in line with inflation over the last 4 years since the membership fee was first introduced in 2020 (8K to 10K). We also propose to expand our membership to increase income and knowledge input from a greater number of members.

Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)
Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME
This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.
| Recognition of income Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated services and facilities Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: the charity becomes entitled to the resources; · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Donated goods Contractual income and performance related grants Offsetting There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. |

| 2.4 ASSETS Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. Grants with performance conditions Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. Grants payable without performance conditions Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. Income from interest, royalties and dividends This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Income from membership subscriptions Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. 2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Investment gains and losses The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. Tangible fixed assets for use by charity The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2. Governance and support costs Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Settlement of insurance claims Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. They are valued at cost. Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Volunteer help These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. Redundancy cost The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. Deferred income No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. Creditors The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts Provisions for liabilities A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date Basic financial instruments |
