TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT 2025
INTRODUCTION
Period covered: From 1[st] Jan to 31[st] Dec 2025 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 2025 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.
In 2025, to address the promotion of humane methods of managing populations of companion animals we continued to grow our Positive Cities initiative to celebrate those cities that have engaged in humane management. We developed a new partnership with the cities network, Metropolis, leading to the first peer-learning ‘Solutions Lab’ with 22 cities attending online and 10 cities gathering in Bangkok for the in-person event. Continuing with our focus on urban development (SDG 11) but also recognising the link between companion animal management and human health (SDG 3), we secured the first-ever reference to animals and One Health in
urban policy within a UN Forum of Mayors outcome document. By establishing the link between positive dog- and cat-human relationships and these different areas of the Sustainable Development Goals, we aim to increase the political interest and investment in humane companion animal 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 growing our newest mode of engagement – ICAM Conversations – and successfully delivering the 3[rd] in our series of virtual international conferences. These activities attracted global interest from a wide range of countries (for example, our 2025 conference attracted registrations from 127 countries). In recognition of the global interest in our subject, in 2025 we invested in professional translation of our 2 dog population management courses and associated supporting guidance material, preparing for launch of these courses in 8 additional languages in Jan 2026. We have also continued to develop our freely available street survey tool for dogs and cats, Talea, by launching an iOS version of the app in June 2025. By enabling free-roaming dog and cat counts, we have supported evidencebased design, monitoring and evaluation of humane management interventions.
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 7 strategic objectives. The following outlines our activities and achievements under each of these objectives in 2025:
| Strategic objective | Activities and achievements in 2025 |
|---|---|
| 1. To establish ICAM as a robust and sustainable organisation that fulfils member expectations. |
Engaged our 9 members in 1 virtual conference, 3 virtual members meetings and 2 in-person/virtual hybrid with full member attendance. We established an agreed member expansion plan and co- created a 5-year strategy for 2026-2030. Continued to build and refine functions, policies, and procedures necessary for a registered charity, including successful completion of our 4thindependent financial review (including a change to accruals- based accounting) and submission of our 4thannual report to the Charity Commission. |
| 2. Increase the use of street surveys to establish change in key indicators relating to effective D/CPM, as outlined in 'Are we making a difference?' |
Talea continues to be improved and performance maintained, keeping pace with changes in device operating systems and associated software. In June 2025, we launched the iOS version of the app, thanks to the support of experienced Android Talea users who tested the beta iOS app in Q1/2 2026. By the end of 2025, 409 projects (this is approximately the same as the number of organisations) in 60 countries had been set-up on Talea web. Of these, 140 actively collect data from 6272 surveys and a total of 250,000+ sightings of dogs and cats recorded since Talea was launched in 2020. The Talea webinar in March 2022 on the use of Talea for surveying dogs and cats attracted 260 registrations from 63 different countries – this webinar is available on our ICAM website and is recommended as an introduction to Talea for potential users – in 2025, the Talea webpage attracted 1,571 visits and 175 views of the webinar videos. |
| 3. Veterinary capacity for competent neutering of dogs and cats matches the humane population management needs |
Activities under this objective have not progressed. WSAVA guidelines were published in 2024 – the section describing reproduction control for population management was poorly written and 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 have asked ICAM to contribute to a new document on reproduction control with a population management focus. |
| 4. National (and large city) governments are able to achieve compliance with WOAH ch 7.7 standards |
LEAP Dog (Logical Evaluation and Action Plan for Dogs) is a framework tool that will support national governments to design national strategies and systems that support humane, evidence-based dog population management programmes. In 2025, the LEAP Dog tool was drafted with support from a core working group - including representatives from GARC, Four Paws, Humane World for Animals, WSAVA and RSPCA - testing and refinement will continue in Q1 2026. Aim to pilot in Q3/4 with 2 countries. Funding for 2 pilot countries to hold LEAP Dog workshops in 2026 was secured from Mars in 2025. 16 additional resources identified - some are complete tools, but many are 1-page definitions plus context or position statements - for many, an ICAM member has been identified as a suitable expert for co- authoring a draft for wider ICAM approval. |
| 5. Strengthening the why: Importance of cat and dog population management is recognised within global priorities / Mainstreaming cat and dog population management within global framework (SDGs) |
Launched our Advocacy toolkit in 4 languages - English, Spanish, French and Chinese. During this reporting period the toolkit resources were downloaded 175 times. Associated workshops designed and delivered at Metropolis Solutions Lab and Asia for Animals conference. Positive Cities network was expanded to 10 cities. We refined the application process to ensure objective quality assurance - allowing us to decline some cities that had not yet reached sufficient standard according to the stated criteria of a Positive City. Built a positive working relationship with the cities network, Metropolis, leading to a peer-learning ‘Solutions Lab’ for 22 cities online and 10 cities represented in-person at the Bangkok based event, including an opening presentation by BMA Deputy Governor and site visit to SDF’s mobile clinic project and Talea training. Secured the first-ever reference to animals in urban policy within a UN Forum of Mayors outcome document, achieving unanimous |
adoption of One Health language that recognises the interconnection between human, animal, and environmental health.
As an active member of the United Against Rabies (UAR) Forum, ICAM led on the production of guidelines for dog population estimation. Also presented the annual UAR meeting on ‘Dog population management (DPM) and the Positive Cities initiative’, keeping discussions on DPM within the rabies community active and increasing support for managing populations in addition to only mass vaccination. Chaired a review of Morocco’s draft Law 19.25 by a IAPWC collated working group. This was submitted to the Moroccan Government through FIFA, and we await the next stage of the legislative process to assess the impact. Provided DPM input to an external review of Sri Lanka's national rabies strategy, alongside WHO, WOAH, Mission Rabies, etc. Paving the way for later introduction of the LEAP Dog tool.
- ICAM and ICAM Utilised our ICAM website as our principal resource hub, with member tools are outreach now predominantly delivered through social media (see recognised and below). There were 21,238 website users in 2025 (vs 23K in 2024). utilised to improve 5.5K of the visitors came to our virtual conference page (vs 14K in cat and dog 2024). There was a wide geographic spread of website visitors, with population 115 (vs 129 in 2024) countries with at least 10 users (max 4923 users management in USA), top 10 countries - United States, United Kingdom, India practice globally China, Germany, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, Philippines.
Figure 1 - Website user locations in 2025
Social media: In 2025, ICAM achieved measurable growth across all social media platforms, adding a total of 1,888 new followers. LinkedIn is our strongest and fastest-growing platform with an increase of 1,164 followers in 2025.
Facebook continued to show steady but more moderate growth in 2025, with 487 new followers. Given the platform’s maturity and changing user behaviour, this level of growth is consistent with sector norms and indicates a stable, engaged audience rather than rapid expansion.
Instagram is still a relatively small channel for us, but it demonstrated the highest proportional growth, increasing by 237 followers during the year.
We maintained a presence on X (formerly Twitter) during 2025, with the account reaching 365 followers by year end. We also established a presence on Bluesky as an emerging social media platform. By the end of the year, the account had 21 followers, reflecting its early-stage status and the platform’s developing user base.
Following the consolidation from HubSpot to Mailchimp in March 2025, ICAM’s mailing list has grown steadily through organic sign-ups. Between 18 March and year end, 950 new contacts were added, increasing the audience from 1,219 to 2,169 subscribers.
Conducted our 3rd virtual (6th in the series, first 3 had been inperson) international conference on dog and cat population management over 5 days in June 2025. This involved 42 speakers from 21 countries, plus regional/global perspectives. We attracted 1635 registrations from 127 countries, with 697 live attendees. Recorded conference sessions were uploaded to Youtube and generated 2,595 additional views in the second half of the year. Evaluation survey reported Net Promotors Score of 86. All for £900, thanks to Zoom support from ICatCare.
Our 3 DPM courses were transferred from Talent LMS to Moodle (https://learn.icam-coalition.org/) whose cost structure is based on course content size and not learner numbers, allowing us to welcome expansion in learner numbers. These courses have attracted 669 registered learners from 88 different countries in 2.5 years (launched in June 2023).
The 2 DPM courses translated into 8 additional languages (French, Spanish, Portuguese, Bosnian, Ukrainian, Russian, Arabic, Chinese) making a total of 9 languages including English. All accessible on from beginning of Jan 2026. We are in discussion with WOAH on how these courses will be accessible to their learners on their WOAH platform.
We continued our ICAM Conversations series with three events in 2025 (mandatory sterilisation, human behaviour change, the impact of international events on street dogs). Collectively the events attracted 459 unique registrants from over 80 countries, with the strongest engagement from the UK and US; notable other countries represented are India, Portugal, Chile, South Africa, and Greece. The return rate for the three events was 18%, including the UK, US, Portugal, India, South Africa, Chile, Nigeria, Montenegro, Bolivia, and Canada.
- DPM AME: Build the evidence base - and tools for monitoring/evaluati on - for DPM impact
4 organisations completed the evaluability assessment process with support from University of Glasgow (UoG) social scientists, identifying outcomes, indicators and data sources. For 2 organisations, their data was analysed and interpreted by UoG quantitative scientists. For one of these (Jai Dog) the results have been written up as a manuscript for publication. For 2 organisations data analysis is delayed: For organisations in Tbilisi, Georgia this is due to delays with data sharing
agreements with government partners. For Dog Star, incomplete data dictionaries have slowed data cleaning required ahead of analysis.
Analysis that is sufficiently consistent for application to other datasets has not yet been identified. This has prevented generic tool development.
2 new organisations will be added to the project in 2026.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
ICAM’s principal source of funding is its membership, either through the payment of annual membership fees (10K 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). 2025 was the last year of the 5-year grants provided by World Animal Protection.
Expenditure in 2025 was 348.5 K GBP, 25% underspend compared to budget. Significant contributing factors to this underspend are reduced cost of University of Glasgow support, using staff rather external consultants for an education resource user review and not holding an ICAM led event in 2025 with related underspend in event, travel and communication material costs.
Expenditure on the restricted 5-year World Animal Protection grants closed with an overspend of 15.0K GBP on the grant supporting the development and translation of the DPM online courses and 14.7K underspend on the grant supporting our advocacy work. As agreed with World Animal Protection, the underspend on advocacy will be applied to activities in 2026 aligned with the grant’s original objectives, including completing polling of urban citizens’ perspectives, and development and publication of further work on cost-benefit analysis of DPM impact.
Our financial position of at the end of 2025 is 200.8K GBP. Our reserve policy is to maintain an Operating Reserve fund at minimum equal to 3 months of average core operating costs; in 2025 this equated to 62.7K. Our goal over the coming years is to grow our reserves to match a minimum of 12 months core costs.
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. In 2026, we will launch a new ICAM member application process and a new membership fees structure based on member organisation size. Together this will strengthen our coalition and increase our unrestricted income, whilst still allowing us to welcome modest sized organisations with valuable knowledge to expand our collective intelligence.

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 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 £250 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 |
