PGP / SPD My story:

Accountability isn’t controversial — it’s necessary . If your first instinct is to question what someone was wearing instead of questioning why someone chose to abuse, then you’re not protecting anyone — you’re protecting harm. This is how victim blaming survives. This is how coercion and manipulation stay normalised. This is how people get silenced. Clothing is not consent. Existing is not consent. Abuse is a choice — and that choice belongs entirely to the abuser. We need to stop policing women’s bodies and start challenging dangerous mindsets. Because every time blame is misplaced, you make it easier for abuse to continue. Do better. Learn better. Be better. I’ve just come from a comment thread about school uniforms and dress codes, and honestly, some of the responses have been deeply concerning. We need to be very clear: clothing is not the issue. Abuse is the issue. Control is the issue. Coercion is the issue. Abusers do not abuse because of skirt length, tops, makeup, or what som...

Disability Support needs to be Stronger in the community: Disability comes in all shapes, sizes, forms, and ages. So why are disabled people still being mistreated—especially when they are already fighting every single day just to live and survive? This is even more evident within our own local communities. 👈🏻👈🏻👈🏻 Too often, the moment a disabled person becomes successful in any way, support disappears and is replaced with criticism, judgement, or backlash!! It’s getting ridiculous. I recently shared my music online—something I create as part of my own mental health support and to help others—and I faced backlash for it. Despite being an admin, having consent to post, and checking beforehand, people still chose negativity over support. It isn’t hard to uplift your community. Yet time and time again, people would rather criticise than encourage. What shocked me most was that one of the individuals involved had even attended a PIP protest—someone who should understand the importanc...

Build relationships with people who will mention your name when opportunities arise. ✨ Success isn’t just about what you know — it’s also about the connections you nurture along the way. Support people, uplift others, and surround yourself with those who celebrate your growth and speak your name in rooms you haven’t entered yet. “We uplift here, we support here, we value people here and we're stronger together.” — Sarah Wingfield ❤️ Independent Disability Advocate+ KawaiiDollDecora.uk #communitysupport #strongertogether #networking #supporteachother #kawaiiaesthetic Alt text: Square pink kawaii-style image featuring a glowing neon quote sign on a clear panel against a soft pink textured wall. The quote reads: “Build relationships with people who will mention your name when opportunities arise.” A bright pink heart appears above the sign.

Disabled people are being failed again and again. Stop removing support from disabled constituents. Stop the hateful misinformation in the media. Stop ignoring systemic ableism. Many disabled people want to work and contribute, but accessible, fairly paid opportunities are still being denied to us. And even when disabled people do get into paid work, the UK disability pay gap was 12.7% in 2023 according to the ONS.  That is not fairness. That is discrimination built into the system. Some of us are already doing huge amounts of unpaid labour — advocacy, care, community work, creative work, emotional labour — while also managing the extra daily costs that come with disability. Those extra costs are real, and cutting support only pushes disabled people further into hardship. Around 5 million people were receiving either PIP or DLA under DWP policy ownership at February 2025, showing how many people rely on disability-related support.  Disabled people deserve dignity. We deserve a...

Durham Dis-able: When Disability Advocacy Excludes Disabled Voices Yet you (DurhamEnable) didn’t support me or the significant work I’ve put into advocacy around medical cannabis. Excluding disabled advocates due to prescribed medical cannabis is never a positive step — it moves advocacy in the wrong direction. Bambi and I worked exceptionally hard together, which makes it incredibly disappointing to see my voice silenced rather than supported. For context, I also contribute safeguarding work relating to children alongside Durham County Council — unpaid — because protecting vulnerable people matters deeply to me. I’m apparently trusted to support safeguarding work, yet excluded from your advocacy spaces because of prescribed medical cannabis. That contradiction speaks volumes. It’s disrespectful to the work disabled advocates are doing, and it sends the wrong message about inclusion.

Vlog update ❣️ ( Correction *in MARCH ahaha 😂 ) I’ve just shared a new vlog where I talk about everything I’ve been working on lately — from upcoming projects and creative ideas to the magazines and community initiatives I’m involved in. There’s a lot happening behind the scenes at the moment, including future editions of Aycliffe Alternative Magazine, creative work through Kawaii Doll Decora, music with K•Doll, and the wider community projects I’m passionate about supporting. I thought it might be nice to put it all in one place so people can see what’s coming next and how these projects all connect to the bigger goal of building more inclusive, creative community spaces. If you’d like to follow the journey or get involved in future editions, feel free to have a read. 💫 https://kawaiidolldecora.uk/aycliffe-alternative — Sarah Wingfield Independent Disability Advocate  KawaiiDollDecora.uk Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6scx6w4IeXQXG4kKsYCbND?si=H-yuzZcBRyuyYQtLAU7LzA Ba...
