HD Sunflower
The Sunflower Lanyard is a global symbol of inclusivity and support for individuals with non-visible disabilities, conditions and chronic illnesses. By wearing the Sunflower symbol, individuals can discreetly indicate their need for additional assistance or accommodations in public settings, fostering a more understanding and supportive environment.
In June 2024, in celebration of LGBTI+ Pride Month, HD Sunflower in partnership with ParaPride and Valentino Vecchietti (she/her), the creator of the Intersex-Inclusive Pride flag, launched the Pride Sunflower pack, featuring a newly designed LGBTI+ Hidden Disability Sunflower Lanyard and wristband. These are avalaible for purchace via the linked image below.
'Launching the new Sunflower Lanyard represents a significant step forward in our ongoing efforts to foster inclusivity and support within our community. We are excited about our partnerships with EPOA and ParaPride and look forward to supporting Pride events and organisations with our new Sunflower Intersex-Inclusive Pride flag Sunflower lanyard. Together, we can celebrate love, identity, and the power of inclusivity.'
- Paul White, CEO of Hidden Disabilities Sunflower
'As an empowerment charity that advocates for the visibility, education and awareness of LGBTIQA+ disabled people, ParaPride is honoured and proud to partner with Hidden Disabilities Sunflower. We acknowledge the remarkable work this organisation does to inform the wider public about non-visible disabilities, globally, and spreading awareness of the many health conditions that may not be apparent. We look forward to fostering a supportive and sustainable relationship. Every disabled person has the right to feel safe, welcome and included.’
