Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Lanyard Scheme

Not all people with hidden disabilities require assistance. But if you do, wearing the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Badge discreetly indicates that you need additional support or just a little more time.

The Cornmill Shopping Centre in Darlington are giving away Sunflower Lanyards for free, to get yours either visit the Cornmill Management Office on Priestgate or speak to a member of the Cornmill Team on the mall.

Importantly if you see someone wearing the Sunflower logo, give them a little more space, a little more of your time and ask them if they need a little extra help.

Not all disabilities are visible – some are not immediately obvious, such as learning difficulties, mental health as well as mobility, speech, visual or hearing impairments. Living with a hidden disability can make daily life more demanding for many people, but it can be difficult for others to recognise, acknowledge or understand the challenges you face.
