Finding Calm Through Pages: My New Tool for Healing and Hope:

By Sarah Wingfield


I recently discovered that Mind Charity has teamed up with Paperchase, and some of their beautiful and thoughtfully designed stationery is now available in selected Tesco stores.


It might just be a notebook to some, but for me, it’s become something much more.

I'm currently using one of these books to help me process both the good and bad days — to gently unpick the threads of harm, to understand the weight I carry, and to find my way back to myself after pain.


Writing has always been one of my ways to cope, reflect, and recover, especially as someone who is disabled and neurodivergent. But this notebook has added a little spark — a reminder that support and beauty can coexist. That healing doesn’t always have to be loud. Sometimes, it’s found quietly in ink, intention, and a blank page.


I'm also using it to set new goals for advocacy, to reignite my drive for positive change, and to hold space for the things that matter to me — like mental health awareness, justice, and compassion.


Not every day is easy. But truly, all we can ever do is our best.


With love,

Sarah Wingfield ❤️

Butterfly world Stockton and abused:

💔 Went to butterfly world left Bud in the car for forty minutes and it's cool in the car and the windows are all open. Dog is absolutely fine but the way India who works there spoke to us laughing at us and slagging us off triggered my autism in public. Just had an autistic meltdown cause people are accusing us of animal cruelty and overstepping unprofessionally and abusively so we've left. Total humiliation and false allegations man. There's a way to talk to people so we've left and gone home. She was openly telling other people that we are abusive and they were all laughing at me but how dare she. He has water and we were almost done cause we were not going to leave him long but it doesn't matter. People don't care they only care to act high and mighty with a ganging up mentality.  Getting members of the public involved is wrong and if she had bothered to put her hand in the car where it's cooler than outside and in the shade she would have realised she w...

The Aviator:

Fighting for Community: Why The Aviator Matters More Than Ever Something powerful happens when people come together — when a space opens its doors to everyone, no matter their background, ability, or walk of life. That’s what The Aviator Sports & Live Lounge has done for our town. And now, it’s under threat. For years, The Aviator has been more than just a venue. It’s been a beating heart in Newton Aycliffe. A place for celebration, connection, live music, family events, sports, comfort food, and spontaneous laughter with strangers who become friends. It’s one of the rare spaces that makes you feel like you belong — and in a world that can feel so divided and isolating, that’s priceless. As a disabled woman, I’ve often found public spaces either inaccessible or unwelcoming. But not The Aviator. It’s one of the few places where I’ve never had to fight to be included. The staff have always been kind, attentive, and respectful. I can just be. That shouldn’t be rare — but sadly, it is....

Ramside Hall and Northern Housing Consortium:

I am excited to say that the event at Ramside Hall went spectacularly well, I attended with my best friend Corin and we had such a lovely time. I gave a wonderful speech as to how Northern Housing Consortium has helped me spectacularly with a bursary for my start up business www.magnoliaphotography.co.uk and I happily share the quoted speech I gave below:  " As a start-up business, I initially struggled to  meet the demands of contractual work. Creating art by finger painting on my phone screen was time-consuming, imprecise, and physically challenging. This made it difficult to meet my clients' expectations for detail and speed. Living with chronic pain and disabilities only added to these difficulties. When I learned through Livin Futures that Northern Housing Consortium was offering a start-up bursary, I immediately applied for a drawing tablet, hoping it could change the way I work. Receiving the bursary has been truly transformative. With my new drawing tablet, I can now ...
