Sunflower Card & Lanyard for Hidden Disabilities

 

Sunflower Card & Lanyard 🌻

The Sunflower is a symbol for people with non-visible disabilities.

Wearing the 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. The Sunflower card has been launched locally in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the UK, the UAE and the USA.

The lanyard can be used in shops and airports where you may need support. The card could be a very useful resource during summer holiday season for anyone travelling, queuing in tourist zones, other.

Feedback from ME Patient

‘Take care on registering that you have correctly added Ireland because the page automatically registers UK, they have an office in Co Clare so the Irish post only takes a few days, great service.

I found the website kept resetting and had to use a laptop to order, not successful using phone/tablet.

Everyone gets to personalise the back of the card with your own details re assistant/triggers/needs.’
