I have been diagnosed with dementia

The Sunflower Lanyard Scheme is a discreet way for people with hidden disabilities, including dementia, to signal that they may need additional support, help, or a little more time.

You can voluntarily wear a lanyard with a sunflower design, indicating you have a hidden disability.

This can help staff and the public recognise that you may need extra assistance or patience.

It can reduce anxiety, making you feel more confident and secure.

It can improve accessibility to facilities and services, making it easier to access them.

You can get a Sunflower lanyard at various locations, including:

• airports
• supermarkets
• railway stations.

You can also order a lanyard online from the official Hidden Disabilities Store.
