News. To Inspire Change.
The Series group our content in to a narrative for the various areas of our lives.
Each Series has been carefully considered to allow the boundaries between our issues to be softened.
This replaces a more rigid approach such as ‘health’, ‘environment’, ‘entertainment’, which assumes each area of our life is seperate & can fit in to a box.
The aim is to illustrate the relationships between everything we do, & show how all issues are connected.
The beauty in seeing such links, is that seemly small changes can be shown to have a knock on effect.
Small changes by many people can have powerful results.
Each Series is ongoing and contains a mix of content.

Helen's Musings
In addition to the Six Series Helen also runs her Musings Blog, where she voices her concepts & perspectives which drive the thinking behind Winglewood.
We’re moving away from dramatic headlines that are there to catch your eye one day, and gone the next. And petty stories that demand you give significance to situations that are beyond the scope of your own life.
Our news is unconventional. We’re bringing information that can be directly applied within your own life. The Series display it in a way that helps you visualise how all the little things that we do have an impact on the whole.
Rather than news which leaves us feeling miserable, we’re now moving towards the steps to take control of our own happiness, health, and to look after the planet.
Inspired By Nature
Nature flows. Society doesn't.
Our short introduction explains how Nature can become our teacher when seeking steps to improve our lives.
The Waste Chase
In the ideal world, everything we use would be reused, recycled, or returned back to the Earth in a beneficial way.
Of course, this is a long way off from where we are today. But rather than wait for a miraculous solution to appear from someone cleverer than ourselves, let’s begin by taking awareness and making the small changes we can.
In this series, we explore what is already available to help us to move towards the ideal. Identifying where our items come from clues us up on making responsible choices. And we’ll seek to discover technologies and simple relationships which combined, allow us all to be a part in making an enormous dent here.

Made With Passion
Throughout our lives we buy all kinds of products, yet rarely give a thought to how they are made, by whom, or what they are made from.
Giving value to these considerations, creates an opportunity to see our impact on both the environment, & also those involved in the manufacture. Every item we use has a story, and their journey can be far reaching.
In this series we take a look from the perspective of the maker, the consumer & the products, as we seek to discover the benefits and challenges of celebrating those who work with passion.

Starting With Me
Here we dig in to perhaps the most important relationship of them all – Our relationship with Ourselves.
Hectic routines and unending pressure tend to take priority over how we feel and what we enjoy in life.
This series flips this entirely on it’s head, and explores the concept that putting ourselves first is at the heart of creating success in all other areas of our lives.
Physical & mental illness, isolation and lack of self expression – to what extent are these all symptoms of our modern lifestyle?
We seek to answer this through taking steps to explore the problem from its root.

The Productive Gardener
Here we take a new look at local, micro food production and its benefits within a community.
Having fresh, chemical free produce is only one of the perks of growing your own food. Fresh air, recreation and friendships can bring huge joy and connection.
In this series we discover the various approaches to growing food on a small scale, & explore the extent of items that can be grown for our own needs. Alongside we consider how it would look to break down the barriers within a town, to create productive space in unlikely places.

The Symbiotic Town
Here we consider our urban environments as an eco-system that we are part of.
We open up to consider how we could be better connected as a community, and what beneficial relationships we might be missing out on for the sake of seeing our own needs in isolation.
We also consider the relationship of the town itself with nature. This includes exploring the technologies used for buildings and infrastructure, and discovering their impact on ourselves & the environment, together with potential alternatives.

Fantasy Fast Food
Exploring the concept that what’s healthy for us is healthy for the planet, and asking how do we make this convenient and accessible?
Commercial food production has a huge impact on both ourselves and the environment. This is not surprising considering our daily need to eat. But as with all industries this is focused on profit, and our choices are directed by misinformation, addiction and convenience.
In this series we explore the challenges of understanding what a healthy diet really looks like, and ways that this could become more accessible, sustainable and affordable.
