Inclusion:

Inclusion - Sarah Wingfield.




I didn’t create these slides because inclusion is trendy.

I created them because I have lived the absence of it.

Inclusion is not a corporate buzzword. It is the difference between someone thriving and someone shrinking. Between someone walking in freely and someone hovering at the door wondering if they’re allowed to exist.

Inclusion is not about “helping them”.

It is about dismantling the invisible walls we pretend aren’t there.

It is about asking: Who did we forget when we built this? Who has to ask for permission to belong? Who is exhausted from explaining their humanity?

We talk about ramps and captions and policies — and we should.

But inclusion is also the silence in a room when someone speaks their truth and nobody rolls their eyes. It is believing lived experience without demanding proof. It is not punishing disagreement. It is not weaponising power. It is choosing growth over ego.

Inclusion is emotional as well as physical.

It is safety. It is dignity. It is not having to armour yourself before entering a space.

Accessibility is not “extra”. It is not an add-on. It is not a luxury upgrade.

It is essential.

Because when we design for the margins, we don’t weaken the centre — we strengthen it. We make the world wider. Softer. Fairer. More human.

Inclusion is not a project with a deadline.

It is a practice. A decision we make daily. A mirror we are willing to look into. A willingness to change when we realise we have caused harm — even unintentionally.

This series isn’t about perfection.

It’s about progress. It’s about courage. It’s about refusing to build systems that only work for the already comfortable.

If this resonates, share it. Start conversations. Ask questions. Challenge what excludes.

Because belonging should not be a privilege.

It should be the baseline.

Butterfly world Stockton and abused:

💔 Heartbroken After Today’s Experience at Butterfly World 💔 By Sarah Wingfield — Independent Disability Advocate Today should have been a simple, gentle outing. Instead, it turned into one of the most humiliating and distressing experiences I’ve had in a long time. We visited Butterfly World in Stockton-on-Tees, and while we were inside for roughly forty minutes, Bud stayed in the car. It was cool, the windows were open, the car was in the shade, and he had water. He was absolutely fine. But what wasn’t fine was how we were treated. An employee named India approached us in a way that was shockingly unprofessional, laughing, openly speaking about us to others, and accusing us of animal cruelty. Her behaviour triggered an autistic meltdown in public — not because we had done anything wrong, but because of the hostile, mocking way the situation was handled. Instead of assessing the situation properly, instead of placing a hand inside the car to feel the cool air, instead of speaking res...

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:

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. Sarah Wingfield 🌹 #truth #falseallegations #liestopolice #scared #harmed #donebeingbullied  Update: Misuse of police powers advocating blog post:  https://pgpandspd.blogspot.com/2025/04/stalking-and-surveys.html I have not contacted any of these persons at any time however one person outlined has harassed me in my inbox and I have the evidence after providing false statements to the police. Police time is precious and is not to be misused or abused because you prefer to silence someone and ostracise over support and resolve. Sa...
