Hidden Disabilities Sunflower franchises

Support those living with a non-visible disability in your region

Globally, 1 in 6 of us live with some form of disability. That’s more than 1 billion people living with a disability in the world. While some experience a disability that is visible, many have a non-visible impairment or condition that makes daily life more demanding. Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it is not there.

We aim to increase awareness of the Sunflower globally and provide a consistent level of support for those who choose to wear the Sunflower lanyard or any Sunflower wearables so they may travel, work, shop, or be entertained safely in the knowledge that understanding, care, or simply more time will be given.

So, we are making the Sunflower franchises available locally in an increasing number of countries worldwide. We believe we can achieve this through partnering with an organisation or business with regional knowledge that believes improving support for those with non-visible disabilities is a critical objective.

Why become a Sunflower franchisee?

Currently, over 250 airports globally have launched and recognised the Sunflower.
