🚨 URGENT HEAT WARNING🚨
The forecast is now showing temperatures of up to 37°C, here at Foster Sanctuary we are deeply concerned.
We currently have 90 dogs in our care. Some are elderly, some have thick double or triple coats, and some are recovering from illness too
Keeping every single one of them safe during this extreme heat is a huge operation.
Our team will be starting work from 5–6am each morning and working right through until the evening to make sure every dog stays as cool, hydrated and comfortable as possible.
It's like organising a military operation, with cooling routines, fresh water, shaded areas, cooling mats, ice toys, frozen treats, hydration drinks and constant monitoring throughout the day.
We're also making sure our amazing staff are looked after, because these conditions are challenging for everyone.
Our thoughts are also with the dogs living on our streets alongside their homeless owners. As always, we will be on standby to help , but we know the coming days are going to be incredibly difficult.
Even in the temperatures we've experienced today, we've already seen dogs struggling. The next few days could become life-threatening for many.
🐾 Please help us spread this message:
• Walk your dog very early in the morning or late in the evening.
• Never leave a dog in a car, not even for a few minutes.
• Make sure they have constant access to fresh water and shade.
• Avoid hot pavements, which can burn paws in seconds.
• If your dog doesn't need exercise, skip the walk. A missed walk is far safer than heatstroke.
Please keep an eye out for any dog that appears to be in distress and, if you can, offer water to dogs you may see with homeless owners.
These next few days will test us all, but together we can help keep every dog as safe as possible.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support Foster Sanctuary and the work we do. 🧡

🚨Your pension is about to be raided and HMRC just confirmed how....
From April 2027, pension schemes will be allowed to withhold up to half of your retirement savings to cover inheritance tax. They can hold onto that money for up to 15 months while they work out what is owed
Pensions used to sit outside inheritance tax entirely. From April 2027 they get hit with the standard 40% rate like everything else
So your family loses up to 40% of what you spent a lifetime saving. The pension company sits on the other half for over a year before anyone sees a penny. Funeral costs, mortgage payments, school fees, none of it can be covered while the money is locked up
The policy was announced by Rachel Reeves in the 2024 Budget. The operational detail confirming the 50% withholding rule was quietly published by HMRC this week, with final guidance not due until spring 2027, weeks before the deadline
10,500 estates will be dragged into inheritance tax for the first time. Another 38,500 will pay more. Average extra bill, £34,000
And this is how these things always work. The threshold starts high, the public is told it only affects the wealthy, and the numbers stay frozen while everything else rises
The inheritance tax threshold has been stuck at £325,000 since 2009. House prices have nearly doubled in that time
Every year, more ordinary families get pulled in without a single rule changing
The government calls this closing a loophole. What it actually does is treat your pension like another revenue stream for the Treasury. Money you saved out of taxed income gets taxed again on the way out
If you have a pension, this affects you. Check what your scheme is planning before April 2027 arrives

🚨 WE ARE STUCK , AND WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP 🚨
Right now, we cannot move any further forward with our new kennel project without your support. 💔
We have a brand new kennel block waiting to be delivered and installed, which means more dogs can finally come into safety and receive the help they desperately need.
We completely understand that times are incredibly hard for everyone and donating isn’t always easy right now. But we are asking, from the bottom of our hearts, if you could spare even just £1, it truly would make a huge difference. 🙏
So far we have:
✅ Bought the rebar and groundwork materials
✅ Installed the drainage
✅ Prepared the site ready for concrete
But now we’ve hit a wall…
The cost of materials has risen massively and we urgently need funding for:
🔸 Two swivel dumpers
🔸 Concrete for the base
Once the concrete is down, we can finally bring the company in to install the kennel block and open our doors to so many more dogs crying out for help.
Every share, every donation, every bit of support matters more than you know.
Please help us keep going.
Please help us build a safe place for dogs with nowhere else to turn. ❤️
🐾 £1 can help change a life

Thank you for standing with us always.
