A Heartfelt Thank You for the Kindness ❤️:

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

Image
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...

High Force Waterfall — 11th July 2026, 14:20hrs

High Force Waterfall — 11th July 2026, 14:20hrs. I am now releasing the footage from my visit to High Force Waterfall on 11th July 2026. The private video link sent directly to High Force has already been viewed 12 times, so they have had ample opportunity to see and consider the footage for themselves. I raised my concerns because what happened affected me in real life as a disabled visitor. I expected those concerns to be taken seriously, investigated fairly and handled with compassion. Instead, I was left feeling as though my account was being questioned and my lived experience dismissed. Statements were apparently relied upon to suggest that my description of events was inaccurate, yet when I asked to see appropriately redacted copies of those statements, I received no meaningful response. Since challenging the way my complaint was handled, I have seemingly been ghosted. That silence matters. Disabled people are already accused far too often of exaggerating, inventing or misreprese...

Behind the scenes: K•Doll and Crowns:

Image
K•Doll's Ex Ex (Execute the Fool) music track is a rebellion against manipulation and false power. EX EX (EXECUTE THE FOOL): TAKE BACK THE CROWN K•Doll’s “Ex Ex (Execute the Fool)” is more than a music track—it is a rebellion against manipulation, false authority and the people who mistake control for power. The crown represents status, dominance and the illusion of superiority. Taking it is not about becoming the villain. It is about exposing the fool who never deserved the throne. It symbolises reclaiming your strength. Breaking the illusion. Refusing to shrink. Refusing to remain beneath someone who built their power by manipulating, intimidating or diminishing others. Sometimes, taking back your life means removing the crown from the person who convinced you that they were untouchable. It means recognising that their power only existed while you believed in it. The moment you stop bowing, their kingdom falls. “Ex Ex” channels that turning point—the moment pain becomes power, co...

AFK:

AFK: Just a little heads-up to my friends ❤️ I’m going to be away from Facebook until Tuesday afternoon / Wednesday. 🙏🏻✨ Right now, I need to focus on my personal growth and the important goals ahead of me. I can’t afford any negative distractions. Other people can do whatever they choose, but they cannot steal my happiness, my focus or my determination. Until the targeting dies down and people eventually lose interest, I’m taking a few days to protect my peace, clear my head and smash some personal targets. I don’t want to let myself or anyone else down. What’s coming up is extremely important to me, and I have sacrificed far too much and worked far too hard to become distracted when I need my head fully in the game. Thank you for understanding. I’ll be back after Tuesday and ready to refocus on the magazine. ❤️ Sarah Wingfield ❤️  KawaiiDollDecora.uk #wishmeluck #hardwork #sacrifice #driving #disabled #independence #goals  Alt text: Graphic for the Learn to Drive Hubb app...

Celebrating how far I've come:

Image
Celebrating how far I've come: I’ve come such a long way. I know success is defined differently depending on who you ask, but since rebuilding my mobility and getting out of my wheelchair, I’ve had so many achievements to celebrate. ❤️ I’ve been featured in publications and media, worked as an actor, producer and filmmaker, appeared in movies and independent film projects, written blogs and books, created and released music, designed artwork and products, modelled, performed, spoken publicly and continued developing my own creative projects. Alongside that, I’ve spent years advocating for disabled people, survivors and vulnerable members of our communities. I’ve supported individuals through difficult situations, completed safeguarding and advocacy training, volunteered with charities and community organisations, founded support spaces, helped manage large online communities, created Aycliffe Alternative Magazine and used my platforms to raise awareness, celebrate local talent and ...

My Boundaries Remain in Place:

My Boundaries Remain in Place: Today, I need to refocus on my driving as I prepare for my practical test. The noise, hostility and abusive distractions are not welcome. I keep reminding myself that storms pass. Until this situation is resolved, I will continue blocking anyone who brings hostility, harassment or personal attacks into my spaces. I am entitled to decide which people, organisations and community projects I promote on my own platforms. Our communities deserve spaces where people feel protected, respected and properly safeguarded. Because I have previously been harmed by organisations that were supposed to support me, I take concerns about conduct, accountability and positions of responsibility extremely seriously. I will not promote an organisation while I have unresolved concerns about the conduct of people affiliated with it, particularly where that conduct has caused me significant distress. That is a personal safeguarding boundary, not an instruction telling anyone else...
