FantazMagoriA 2025. Alt text for Image 1: Four people dressed in detailed historical costumes stand in front of a canvas tent display inside the Oak Leaf Sports Complex. They wear period-style clothing, including hats, coats, and boots, and hold long spears or staffs. Behind them is a large wall sign reading “Oak Leaf Sports Complex – we hope you enjoy your game.” The photo is watermarked with “© Kawaii Doll Decora.” Alt text for Image 2: A collage of four photos taken at the FantazMagoriA event inside the Oak Leaf Sports Complex. Each image shows two smiling attendees posing together — one with a pink bob wig, glittery makeup, and colourful choker, and the other wearing a steampunk-style hat with goggles and a graphic T-shirt. They make playful expressions and pose cheerfully for the camera. The images are watermarked “@KawaiiDollDecora.” Nine years ago, one man saw a gap in the local events scene and decided to fill it — with a touch of magic, a spark of sci-fi, and a whole lot of im...

Disability Awareness Speech - Kawaii Doll Decora at The Rotary of Great Aycliffe : In this Disability Awareness Speech, Sarah Wingfield blends personal story, humour, and advocacy to challenge common misconceptions about disability. She shares her lived experience of navigating chronic pain , barriers in daily life , and society’s attitudes toward disability . The speech introduces the social model of disability , highlighting how barriers—rather than impairments—create exclusion. It addresses accessibility, representation in media, and employment discrimination, while also calling out harmful policies that silence disabled voices . Through honest storytelling, Sarah encourages the audience to think differently, act with empathy, and commit to building a more inclusive society where disabled people are seen, heard, and valued. https://KawaiiDollDecora.uk #disabilityinclusion #strongertogether #disability #disabilityawareness #disabilitysupport 

I had an early start today with a driving lesson, followed by a quick visit to my parents for coffee. It’s set to be a busy day, as I plan to attend the Great Aycliffe Town Council meeting this evening. Having taken back Aycliffe Uncensored, I’m committed to keeping up to date with developments in our community and continuing the work behind the scenes. This week is especially full, as I’ve taken on supporting a few more people through my advocacy work, alongside continuing my Level 2 studies.  As an advocate, my role is to stand with people, amplify their voices, and help them navigate the systems and challenges they face. It’s a privilege to do this work, and I’m proud to contribute to bettering people’s lives. If more of us chose to pass on kindness and support, so many more people would feel seen, valued, and empowered. Together, we are stronger. ❤️ Sarah 🌹 xo Alt text: Selfie of Sarah with red hair tied back, glasses, and a lip piercing, wearing a black fishnet top over a red...

Ayclive: Accessibility Denied ♿: Shame it wasn’t extended to some disabled attendees 💔. Asking for positive reviews won’t undo the damage — it’s on film. After my bad experience, I even created an accessibility checklist to help your future events, but instead of engaging, you blocked my Facebook page. I’ve been involved in #Ayclive for the last three years, sharing and promoting it — and the thanks I got was abuse, with a manager openly proud of that abuse. All caught on film. My mistake for thinking you genuinely cared about #Aycliffe 🫶🏻 Sarah Wingfield Newtonian and Independent Disability Advocate I bet this other Facebook account will be blocked again, just to silence me. How dare I try to safeguard my community. Do organisations no longer care about fixing bad experiences? Is silencing and blocking those they’ve mistreated now the new “customer service” standard? #disabilityinclusion #strongertogether #disability #disabilityawareness #disabilitysupport #disabilityrights Alt tex...

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....

  https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18jhfpj2f2/ If I had known that simply asking for accountability and an apology would lead to being ostracised in my hometown — to sabotage, abuse, organisations lying to the police, a false Community Protection Notice, and the loss of my voice as a disabled advocate — I might never have spoken up. But I did, because I believed in truth and justice. Now, Ayclive have joined in by blocking me from their page, after mistreating me and failing to make reasonable adjustments for my disabilities. It really makes you feel the “love” from your hometown, doesn’t it? The support group that coerced members into giving false statements against me is still operating. The man in the photo — who refused me a lift, prioritised PR over disability rights, and also gave false information to the police — is now a councillor. Durham County Council removed employment support from DurhamEnable, and silenced my advocacy because I’m legally prescribed medical cannabis. T...
