Housing Accessibility Petition:

-

 

Today I signed and shared a petition forwarded to me from Sarah: Changing the Narrative, on Facebook. It was a real life acknowledgement of the systemic barriers regarding housing disabled individuals, and how most bungalows are 65+. I signed it, shared it and I sent the following email to my MP. 


If you'd like to sign and share it, please use the link below and if you need to, you can use my email as a template for your own.


Good luck 🤞🏻 we are going to need it to change this issue. 🙏🏻

Subject: Support for Petition on Accessible Housing for Disabled People


Dear Alan Strickland, Anita,


I am writing to you as one of your constituents and as a disability advocate to ask for your support regarding an important petition I have signed: 


https://petition.parliament.uk/signatures/159851268/signed


The petition calls for the Government to require social housing providers to ensure that all disabled people, regardless of age, can access ground-floor or accessible housing. At present, younger disabled adults face unfair barriers when trying to secure ground-floor flats or bungalows, which leaves many of us trapped in unsuitable housing and unable to live independently or safely.


Accessible housing should not be restricted by age criteria. Disability affects people of all ages, and the lack of appropriate housing is not only a barrier to independence but also a direct threat to health, wellbeing, and equality. The current system too often places disabled people at risk, isolates them from their communities, and denies them their basic right to accessible living conditions.


I hope you will consider supporting this petition and raising this issue in Parliament. Your voice on this matter could help ensure that housing policy reflects the needs of all disabled people, not just those who fit into narrow age categories.


Thank you very much for your time and for the work you do representing our community. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this issue.


Yours sincerely,

Sarah Wingfield

Independent Disability Advocate

Butterfly world Stockton and abused:

💔 Went to butterfly world left Bud in the car for forty minutes and it's cool in the car and the windows are all open. Dog is absolutely fine but the way India who works there spoke to us laughing at us and slagging us off triggered my autism in public. Just had an autistic meltdown cause people are accusing us of animal cruelty and overstepping unprofessionally and abusively so we've left. Total humiliation and false allegations man. There's a way to talk to people so we've left and gone home. She was openly telling other people that we are abusive and they were all laughing at me but how dare she. He has water and we were almost done cause we were not going to leave him long but it doesn't matter. People don't care they only care to act high and mighty with a ganging up mentality.  Getting members of the public involved is wrong and if she had bothered to put her hand in the car where it's cooler than outside and in the shade she would have realised she w...

Fighting for Community: Why The Aviator Matters More Than Ever Something powerful happens when people come together — when a space opens its doors to everyone, no matter their background, ability, or walk of life. That’s what The Aviator Sports & Live Lounge has done for our town. And now, it’s under threat. For years, The Aviator has been more than just a venue. It’s been a beating heart in Newton Aycliffe. A place for celebration, connection, live music, family events, sports, comfort food, and spontaneous laughter with strangers who become friends. It’s one of the rare spaces that makes you feel like you belong — and in a world that can feel so divided and isolating, that’s priceless. As a disabled woman, I’ve often found public spaces either inaccessible or unwelcoming. But not The Aviator. It’s one of the few places where I’ve never had to fight to be included. The staff have always been kind, attentive, and respectful. I can just be. That shouldn’t be rare — but sadly, it is....

Let the truth free:

https://suno.com/song/9d00a6ed-1993-4f89-8957-e870e2721dfb?sh=fktW7nMZgO995bZU The song I made about this on an AI app called SUNO with my lyrics (above) --- I'm done being scared and bullied and hiding. I set the truth free and if I get harmed and arrested for doing so, so be it. I refuse to be harmed or suffer anymore, I can't cope. I've harmed no one at any time and asking for an apology and blogging about my mistreatment doesn't justify false allegations. This has been breaking me. I need to set the truth free so my bullies have no more control. I'm sorry I wish I was stronger. I did my best.
