Candy is getting closer to the golden bus ticket. She still needs £120. Chipping away at it. Anything you can spare really helps. 🙏🙏 tinyurl.com/DogBusFares ❤️
Onwards and upwards. Beautiful Candy has the chance to leave and find her own family. She has £85 in her bus fare pot already. She needs another £190 if you can help. Sorry I ask a lot I know but she's definitely worth it. ❤️❤️❤️tinyurl.com/DogBusFares ❤️

Todays gonna a looooong day as we just started a nearly 20-hour drive to rescue this elephant who’s been abused by the riding industry for 35 years and take her to her new cruelty-free home at the Elephant Nature Park sanctuary…thank you everyone who donated or shared as you’re part of our 2nd @karmagawa elephant rescue and this is my birthday wish come true! Please retweet if you promise to NEVER ride an elephant as it’s ignorant tourists who support this sad and cruel industry!!!

WE ARE STILL HERE... BUT ONLY JUST. This post isn’t easy to write. But we need to be real with you all. Right now, our small charity is under immense pressure. Every day, our phones don’t stop ringing ,emergency services, domestic violence teams, police, and individuals in desperate need are reaching out to us for help. Not because they want to, but because we’ve become their only hope. This past week, we’ve dealt with one of the most extreme safeguarding cases we’ve ever seen. A dog, trapped in the middle of an unthinkable situation ,we got them out and safe. But the reality is... that was just one of many. Dogs are coming into our care DAILY.
We’re being contacted from all over the UK.
Yet, we receive NO FUNDING from the services relying on us. We’ve had to urgently bring on new team members at the sanctuary just to keep up and more dogs are on their way. Every life we take in costs the charity, and our vet bills are growing by the day. It’s terrifying. We know we’ve been quiet on socials, but that’s not because we don’t care. It’s because we are drowning in cases and trying to keep up. We're helping a client with severe trauma through rehabilitation ,she’s doing amazing, but therapy costs money. We’re attending endless meetings with her with housing, medical, welfare.
We’re trying to plan fundraising ,but we barely have time to breathe. We are a small charity with big hearts, and we stand for the dogs who can’t speak up for themselves. We don’t walk away from the hard cases we walk into them. This is where we need YOU. Whether it’s £1, £5, £10, or £100, every single donation makes a difference. We’re fighting for these dogs, and we’re fighting for the people who love them but are trapped in situations they never chose. Please, if you can help, donate, share, or even just comment to boost this post. We need all the love and strength right now. Thank you to everyone who continues to stand with us ,we see you, and we are so, so grateful. When we go quiet, it’s not silence — it’s survival. 🧡 dogsonthestreets.org/donate-… #DogsInNeed #SanctuarySupport #CharityInCrisis #AnimalRescueUK #SupportLocalCharity #BehindTheScenes #DomesticViolenceSupport #EveryDogMatters

For the past 45 years Britain has been on a mission - to rid itself of as much affordable housing as it possibly can without replacing it. And in that mission we have been extraordinarily successful. The Spending Review is a massive moment for the housing crisis. Here’s why 🧵

It’s been 49 days since I last saw a drop of rain. Today it’s decided to give it all back in one go. This the UK we all know and love… 15 miles ticked off today, originally had 20 planned but seriously overestimated the hills and terrain. Still on path to finish Wednesday next week, just an extra 5 miles to split over the next few days. Got some very exciting news to share tomorrow. Not one for interviews but this is an opportunity I cannot turn down! (Should add the time today includes 45 minutes looking round the football stadium) Day: 53 Day KM: 24KM (15 miles) Total KM: 1217.6 (737.6 miles) Total money raised for @mindcharity: £48,492 gofund.me/37d41d7b

I'm recovering from a breakdown at the moment and trying to get back on my feet with my workshops and Etsy. If you could maybe RT my new creative & mental health workshop (previous few tweets today, Friday 25th) it would help so much to show it to a few more eyes. I'd really appreciate it, thankyou 🌿

For those cheering for cuts to disability benefits, remember, you could become disabled tomorrow. Your child could become disabled, your partner could at any time. No one chooses to be disabled or chronically ill, it just happens. #DisabilityBenefits
