The Sunflower Lanyard is a discreet yet powerful tool for assisting travellers with hidden disabilities, making travel easier. Originating in the UK, it has now become a symbol of accessibility and understanding around the world.
The lanyard, decorated with vibrant sunflowers,is a tool for those with hidden disabilities to voluntarily share that they have a disability or condition that may not be immediately apparent, and that they may need help, understanding, or more time in shops, on transport, or in public spaces.
While travelling, the staff of airports, airlines, local cafes, large shopping malls, are trained to recognize the lanyard and provide appropriate assistance. This includes offering more time at checkouts, providing seating in queues, or simply being more patient and understanding. They are committed to ensuring that everyone, regardless of their needs, can enjoy their travel experience.
To obtain a Sunflower Lanyard, they can be ordered at the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower* shop or picked up at a supporting airport. For a complete and current list of airports and airlines that support the Sunflower Lanyard, click here.
