Finding life's silver linings

Get in touch with us!!

Adjusting to life with a disability can be a difficult transition. We all tend to take our health for granted—until it’s gone. Then, it’s all too easy to obsess over what we’ve lost. But while you can’t go back in time to a healthier you or wish away your limitations, you can change the way you think about and cope with your disability.

Sandie’s life was turned upside-down when she suddenly became disabled in 2019 after collapsing at work. A suspected stroke led to tests and finally a diagnosis of FND - a problem with the functioning of the nervous system.

Over the last couple of years Sandie has found joy through self acceptance. She has found her calling in promoting body confidence and empowers people with disabilities to feel confident. Recently appeared on ITV This Morning, Sandie was asked to hold a call-in to offer advice about ‘finding your body confidence’.

Creatful

Creatful looks to empower local people to better manage their wellbeing through sharing mindful creativity tools and techniques. Providing social groups for our communities, Creatful offer a safe space where people can attend to socialise and explore creatively.

Creatful was born after founder Nancy found herself stuck between two NHS mental health services, not meeting the requirements to be treated by either. After being left with no choice but to fund her own treatment and finding a lack of a creative outlet throughout her journey, Nancy strived to create a safe space for people just like her.

Being a social enterprise , Creatful don't make money from their workshops, the costs to attendees goes straight back into delivering more for the community.
