I'm a woman, a mum, a friend, as well as a writer & poet, who's severely disabled - into healthy eating on a budget, (I've dropped 86 pounds so far since Aug 2015), disability politics and studying for an MA in English Literature - Creative Writing and the Award in Education and Training (AET formally known as PTLLS) to teach adults in the Life Long Learning Sector. I'm passionate to fight and support those fighting the cuts to social care and the welfare state.

About Me

My photo
Ali Hayward
I'm a severely disabled wheelchair user, living in the UK with my 15-year-old disability activist daughter who has a label of CP. My 27-year-old son is busy living life and learning. I’m a feminist into disability politics, social justice, equality and current affairs. I’m also a writer who recently graduated with an MA in English Literature – Creative Writing and I’m qualified to teach adults in Lifelong Learning too. I'd love to get meaningful part-time work but no success so far. It'll happen. I'm a bit of an ageing hippy, who works hard and loves life even though it's seldom straightforward. I'm in pain 24/7 and have a list almost as long as my arm of other 'diagnosis' including depression and Ulcerative Colitis which makes me feel pretty shitty. My pain meds can make me feel slow and tired sometimes. It makes me feel less intelligent, less aware, less interested or interesting! Sometimes I forget my words – hard for a wordsmith. But there are many good things too I love summer warmth, good company, red wine, budget foodie stuff, film, theatre and ‘the’ arts. But really I'm just ordinary - a woman, a mum and a loyal friend.
