PGP / SPD My story:

Art therapy 🙏🏻💗 When you’re at your lowest, sometimes creating gives all those feelings somewhere else to go. I drew this little digital cartoon girl, then disappeared into an editing app and built a whole collage around her — colour, comfort, silliness, sweetness and tiny reminders of the things I need to hear myself sometimes. “This page belongs to my happy thoughts.” 🌈🍓🎀 Creating doesn’t magically make everything okay, but sometimes it gives your mind a softer place to land for a while. And today, that was enough. 💕 Sarah Wingfield ❤️  Kawaii Doll Decora • K•Doll #ArtTherapy #DigitalArt #DigitalArtist #KawaiiArt #KawaiiDollDecora #KDoll #CollageArt #DigitalCollage #CreativeTherapy #MentalHealthArt #ArtForMentalHealth #CreateToHeal #HealingThroughArt #NeurodivergentArtist #KawaiiAesthetic #DecoraStyle #CuteArt #CreativeExpression #HappyThoughts #YouAreWorthy Alt text: A colourful kawaii-style digital collage centred around an original cartoon girl with bright green skin, l...

PIP and Universal Credit reforms risk destroying disabled people’s independence and routes into work: I’ve written to Andy Burnham about the impact PIP and Universal Credit reforms could have on disabled people who are already trying to work and remain independent. For me, further cuts or restrictions wouldn’t push me into employment — they could make me homeless, bankrupt and destroy everything I’ve been building towards becoming self-employed. PIP helps cover the extra costs of disability and supports independence. Councils, the NHS and charities simply cannot absorb the consequences if that support is removed. Disabled people need meaningful consultation, proper impact assessments and safeguards against poverty, debt and homelessness. You cannot claim to support disabled people into work while taking away the very support that makes work and independence possible. #SystemicAbleism #DisabilityRights #DisabilitySupport #PIP #UniversalCredit #StrongerTogether My email: PIP and Universa...

Why Pride is still needed: Pride is still needed because legal equality does not automatically mean lived equality. LGBTQ+ people can still experience bullying, harassment, discrimination, rejection from family, hate crime and hostility simply for being who they are. Trans people in particular are currently at the centre of intense public and political debate, and young LGBTQ+ people can grow up hearing that their identity is something shameful, controversial or unacceptable. Pride is therefore about more than celebration. It is about visibility, community, remembrance and the freedom to exist without fear. It remembers people who fought for rights that many now take for granted, honours those who suffered or died because of prejudice, and gives isolated people a chance to see that they are not alone. Supporting Pride also doesn't require everyone to have identical beliefs about every issue involving sex, gender, sexuality or policy. People can disagree respectfully on difficult qu...

My Creepy Cafe Announcement: It is with a heavy heart that I’ve made the decision to step away from My Creepy Café Show and my involvement with the podcast and Peter King going forward. I’m grateful for the time, creativity and conversations that have gone into the project, and I genuinely wish everyone involved the very best with whatever direction they choose to take it. For me, this decision comes down to professional differences in how projects are developed, organised and brought forward publicly. I believe strongly in having a clear structure, completed groundwork and realistic plans in place before promoting, casting or committing people to a project. At this stage, I feel my own professional approach and priorities are moving in a different direction. I’m also focusing more of my time and energy on my own writing, film, magazine and creative commitments, so stepping away feels like the right and responsible decision. There is no ill will from me, and I hope the project continue...

A Heartfelt Thank You for the Kindness ❤️ It’s always so lovely when people take the time to reach out to me privately with kindness, gratitude, encouragement or support. ❤️ Over the past month especially, I’ve received so many genuinely thoughtful, supportive and positive messages that I felt I needed to stop for a moment and acknowledge them all. Some people have reached out simply to check in on me or send a few kind words. Others have messaged to thank me for helping them personally, for speaking up about something that mattered to them, for sharing information that helped them, or simply for continuing to do the work that I do. Those messages mean an incredible amount to me. When somebody tells me that I’ve helped them, supported them, encouraged them, given them useful information, made them feel heard, or made some kind of positive difference in their life, I never take that lightly. The same goes for the people who have reached out just to say, “thank you for what you do.” Whet...

I Care Because I Know What It Means to Need Support: I Care Because I Know What It Means to Need Support I restarted blogging while I was pregnant, but my instinct to advocate for others started long before that. For most of my life, I have spoken up when something felt unfair, harmful or inaccessible. I have raised awareness of disability, challenged barriers, supported people through difficult situations and tried to use my experiences to create something positive. This collage holds so many chapters of my life. It shows pregnancy and motherhood. It shows disability, mobility aids and moments when simply getting through the day required determination. It shows hospital visits and the years in which I supported my son through Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. It also shows campaigning, protest, awareness work and the gradual development of the advocate I am today. Behind every photograph is a story. Some are filled with love and joy. Others represent fear, exhaustion, pain and circumstan...
