Hidden Disabilities Sunflower

What is the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower?

Some disabilities, conditions or chronic illnesses are not immediately obvious to others. For some people, this can make it hard to understand and believe that someone, with a “non-visible” condition genuinely needs support. Some people question whether you have a disability because you don’t look ‘like you have a disability".

That is why we created the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower - to encourage inclusivity, acceptance and understanding.

It is a simple tool for you to share that you have a hidden disability voluntarily. Simply by wearing the Sunflower, you’re just letting everyone know that you might need extra help, understanding, or just more time.

The Sunflower - always here to support you

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is here every day of the year to support people living with non-visible disabilities in their communities by raising awareness, training businesses and sharing stories to help create a more inclusive, understanding society.

 National Highways traffic officers, who patrol these roads, have been trained to recognise the sunflower symbol, so they understand that you, or someone in your vehicle, has a hidden disability and may need additional support.

You can get a range of sunflower products including lanyards and stickers for your car. The sunflower for your vehicle is free to road users in England

You can order ONE free sunflower for your vehicle which comes as a sticker or magnet. Once you've chosen which suits you best, use the code ONTHEROAD for free shipping of your National Highways sunflower to your door.

You must register or log in to your sunflower account to order yours.
