PGP / SPD My story:

DCC Update - employment support and podcast: I’ve just been informed that Andrew Husband has offered to personally look into my situation. I’m honestly a little shocked to finally be getting access to someone who can help — but I’m also hopeful. If this is handled properly, it could resolve everything that has happened, including: • Having the podcast reinstated • Ensuring my images are shared as originally intended (not cropped) • Regaining access to the employment support I should never have lost This should never have become a fight. It has taken so much energy and unnecessary distress. Once this is resolved, I truly hope we can move towards a more positive working relationship with the council — especially given the volunteer safeguarding and youth work I already do with them. Fingers crossed 🤞 Sarah Wingfield Independent Disability Advocate #disabilityinclusion #disabilityrights #disabilityawareness #communitymatters #strongertogether #inclusion #advocacy

  I should be able to speak on my hometown’s radio. I should be able to share my lived experience as a Newtonian, to explain why I have started a petition calling for the legalisation of regulated pepper spray for self-defence. My hard work should and could be printed and represented. I should be heard by the very community I belong to. Instead, I am being invited to speak by people outside of this town — radio presenters, podcasters, campaigners — who see value in my voice and my work. Support and representation should never be conditional. It should never be “sometimes.” It should never depend on who you’re liked by, controlled by, or aligned with. Many people locally have asked me to run for council. A growing number want me to represent the disabled community. And I will represent my community — but I cannot and will not step into a council culture where corruption, ostracism, and silencing are allowed to continue. I do more for this town independently, where I can be suppo...

And now it makes so much sense — why life felt like hell for so long. I know who I am now. And if I’m not for you, that’s fine. Just don’t make it my problem. If you dislike me, at least dislike me for the right reasons — not because you’ve been puppeteered by someone else or you've taken on someone else’s narrative.  Think for yourself. Question everything. Believe nothing without evidence and a wider perspective. I genuinely want us all to win. But I’m tired of the BS. I challenge what needs to be challenged. And when someone’s values don’t align with mine, I don’t sabotage, argue, or chase. I simply step away. Others should do the same — yet some cannot help themselves. If they focused on their own growth even half as much as they focus on causing harm, they'd actually become the person they pretend to be: someone healing, someone contributing, someone supportive. If you see someone constantly claiming to be “inclusive” and “community-focused” — look at their actions, not th...

The petition is now LIVE: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/742673 Please SHARE 🙏🏻 ❤️  Alt text:Neon-style graffiti on a dark brick wall with bold, glowing text in pink, blue, and green that reads “LEGALISE PEPPER SPRAY.” The paint has drips and splatters, giving it a spray-painted, rebellious street-art feel. Petition to: Legalise pepper spray in England. We call on the UK Government to: • Legalise and regulate pepper spray for self-defence • Restrict sales to over-18s and approved formulations only • Impose tough penalties for misuse • Provide clear guidelines on lawful self-defence More details: Every day across England, people – especially women, disabled people, and survivors of domestic abuse – are left vulnerable to harassment, assault, and violence. Reports of harassment and sexual offences on public transport have surged. People are being threatened at bus stops and in public spaces. We think domestic abuse is still at epidemic levels – and too many victims are le...

This colourful burst of a character began simply as a practice piece — me experimenting with scaling, anime structure, and colour blending. But somewhere in the process, she stopped being just a drawing and became her own bold little entity. She represents gamer girls everywhere — especially the ones who refuse to dim themselves down. The girls who love bright hair, loud colours, chaotic accessories, cute things, soft things, powerful things. The girls who don’t need to “prove” they belong in gaming spaces, because their existence in those spaces is already the proof. She is here to say: Gaming was never just for boys. She’s punky. She’s playful. She’s vibrant. She’s unapologetic. She doesn’t try to be “cool” for anyone. She is cool because she is herself — loud, expressive, and joyfully chaotic in all the best ways. She’s the spirit of Harajuku energy meeting gamer culture head-on: Colour as confidence. Style as identity. Softness as rebellion. Fun as power. This character is more tha...
