Relegated or not… always @WestHam  We’ll get through the storm and come back stronger. Proper supporters never disappear. #COYI #WestHam

What a hero. This man should never be forgotten for the galant efforts he made, that ultimately cost him his life. https://t.co/9EEVHA6ZWb

💔THE SAD REALITY OF SMALL, INDEPENDENT RESCUES - ANOTHER FANTASTIC RESCUE HAVING TO CLOSE💔

We've just been informed that due to lack of donations & funds that Second Chances Animal Sanctuary based in #Ceredigion #wales will be closing its doors for good once all their dogs & other animals are rehomed

Text taken from their FB post👇

"It is with the deepest regret that I have to share some heartbreaking news.
Due to a severe lack of funds, we are no longer able to continue operating Second Chances Animal Sanctuary as we have been. This decision has not been made lightly, and it comes after exhausting every possible option.
Please know that the animals currently in our care will continue to be loved, cared for, and supported until we find them safe and suitable forever homes. They remain our absolute priority.
However, it breaks my heart to say that we are no longer able to take in any more animals in need.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us, believed in us, and stood by us. (If a miracle happens, I will absolutely let you know straight away). Your kindness has meant everything—not just to me, but to every animal we’ve been able to help.
This isn’t how I ever wanted things to end, but right now, it’s the reality we are facing 💔"

They currently have 16 dogs. These guys take in the large breed dogs that many rescues shy away from. Please remember there are always dogs in the background that aren't ready to be rehomed yet. Second Chances will still have running costs (food, Vet care, meds, day to day costs) until every animal is rehomed

If anyone can donate to help them, please click on the links below or see bank details at the bottom of the post

Watching now @thismorning . My OU Psychology degree study into youth social media use found clear links to reduced wellbeing. Wellbeing activities help, yet proper regulation is essential. Parents have been kept in the dark for years.

A reminder that kindness doesn’t need a policy or a budget. Just a bus driver, a bubble gun, and a lot of smiles. 🫧

A gentle editorial observation from @PsychologiesMag (Jan 06): a small numerical typo that slightly alters the scale of the piece. One extra zero can quietly change the story. #EditorialAccuracy #DetailsMatter

“I don’t know where to start.”
That’s how many calls begin. And that’s okay. There are charities with volunteers ready to listen, without judgement. If you’re struggling, please don’t do it alone. 🔗 https://t.co/UIq6Dvf2lD #MentalHealth #YouAreNotAlone #ItsOkayToTalk

@angloid0 @KemiBadenoch Love it when people talk on behalf of a nation. You might not want her and that’s your view, and likely others. But not everybody’s view. 🙄

I apologize now after my husband and I accidentally crashed a church wedding in Lancaster on 19 August 2006. I’ve never side shuffled out of anywhere as quickly as I did then… https://t.co/FgHw7DqcqW

Shout-out to Sudhakar at Boots Canada Square E14 👏 Just before closing he patiently helped us find what we needed, set up an Advantage Card & applied discounts too. Didn’t rush us once. He’s a real credit to @BootsUK! 🌟

Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay 💜 Mental health training matters. I saw someone in distress recently. I stopped, asked if she was okay, stayed with her till support arrived. So many people ignored her. Don’t underestimate the power of asking, listening, and being present.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day and we're spreading the message that it's ok to talk about suicide, in fact asking directly can help save a life. 💜

@UKLabour You’re not helping us. Cladding scandal unresolved. Service charges tripled. Utilities hiked. Public services declined. Streets unsafe. No NHS dentist in 15+ years. Waiting lists ridiculous. Car tolls added. You’re squeezing those of us who’ve worked hard & paid tax.

@GMB ID cards: simple, practical, modern. Most neighbouring countries already use them. The issue isn’t migration itself, it’s illegal migration. ID cards won’t stop that, and rollout will take years. Don’t confuse the two.

[Michelle Stromgren FCIM @lowelevel]

@GMB For a moment I thought I was reading an old report. Hasn’t this all been promised before? If parliament worked with SMART goals instead of empty rhetoric, maybe we’d see progress instead of recycled headlines.
