What is the Sunflower?

 

The Sunflower is a globally recognised symbol for non-visible disabilities, also known as hidden disabilities or invisible disabilities.

People living with these often face barriers in their daily lives including a lack of understanding and negative attitudes. So some choose to wear the Sunflower lanyard to discreetly identify that they may need support, help, or just a little more time in shops, transport, or public spaces.

The Hidden Disabilities website allows you to search for

  • places that support people with hidden disabilities – shops, travel companies, educati0n or entertainment
  • airports round the world

Businesses can join and receive help to make your venues accessible and Sunflower-friendly.

Sunflower lanyards

Sunflower Lanyards are available free of charge to customers from businesses and organisations who are members of Hidden Disabilities Sunflower. As some people may be unable to travel to collect a free Hidden Disabilities Sunflower lanyard or would prefer to have them delivered, you can order directly from the online store
