A useful way to discreetly indicate when you might need additional help or time
Wearing the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower lanyard discreetly indicates to people around the wearer including staff, colleagues and health professionals that they need additional support, help or a little more time.
Since its launch in 2016, it has now been adopted globally by major airports and venues and in the UK, by many supermarkets, railway and coach stations, leisure facilities, the NHS, a number of police, fire and ambulance services, and an increasing number of small and large businesses and organisations.
One of our members recently told us that wearing the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower was a great help to her when travelling on Eurostar. Staff at St Pancras saw the lanyard and straightaway took her through priority boarding so she didn’t have to queue. She also said the French taxi driver recognised the lanyard and this saved her waiting in a queue there too.
You can often pick up a lanyard for free in various airports etc. Additional cards you can wear with the lanyard are also available to purchase explaining more about your disability.
