Living in and around Darlington:

Hi everyone,


Join the group here:
https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1Dvxh1TG6z/


I wanted to let you all know that I’ve now taken over the Living in Darlington group.
Moving forward, this space will be run with fairness, transparency, and respect for everyone in the community. Different views are welcome here — as long as they’re shared respectfully and without personal attacks.

This group is about Darlington, the people in it, and real conversations that matter. It’s not about bias, control, or silencing voices.
As someone who has always been an advocate first, that won’t change. 

I believe in open discussion, evidence-based conversations, and making sure people feel heard — not shut down.

There will be clear boundaries: 

– No harassment or targeting
– No misinformation presented as fact
– No abuse towards other members

Aside from that, you’re free to speak, share, and engage.

Let’s build this into something positive for the whole community.

Street lamps run down the road, and a few people and vehicles are visible in the distance. Below the image, the group is labelled as a private group with 41.1K members, titled “!!!LIVING IN AND AROUND DARLINGTON U.K.!!!”.

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....

Let the truth free:

I'm done being scared and bullied and hiding. I set the truth free and if I get harmed and arrested for doing so, so be it. I refuse to be harmed or suffer anymore, I can't cope. I've harmed no one at any time and asking for an apology and blogging about my mistreatment doesn't justify false allegations. This has been breaking me. I need to set the truth free so my bullies have no more control. I'm sorry I wish I was stronger. I did my best.

Police time is precious and is not to be misused or abused because you prefer to silence someone and ostracise over support and resolve. Sa...

Butterfly world Stockton and abused:

💔 Heartbroken After Today’s Experience at Butterfly World 💔 By Sarah Wingfield — Independent Disability Advocate Today should have been a simple, gentle outing. Instead, it turned into one of the most humiliating and distressing experiences I’ve had in a long time. We visited Butterfly World in Stockton-on-Tees, and while we were inside for roughly forty minutes, Bud stayed in the car. It was cool, the windows were open, the car was in the shade, and he had water. He was absolutely fine. But what wasn’t fine was how we were treated. An employee named India approached us in a way that was shockingly unprofessional, laughing, openly speaking about us to others, and accusing us of animal cruelty. Her behaviour triggered an autistic meltdown in public — not because we had done anything wrong, but because of the hostile, mocking way the situation was handled. Instead of assessing the situation properly, instead of placing a hand inside the car to feel the cool air, instead of speaking res...
