The next step in empowering individuals with non-visible disabilities
Now launched in the UK – with other regions to follow

Whether you’re at a busy airport, at work, in a crowded shopping center, or at an event, Sunflower Extra ensures everyday interactions are smoother, more inclusive, and completely in your control.
Your Sunflower already signals that you have a non-visible disability and may need additional support, time, space, or understanding. Sunflower Extra takes this further by allowing you to discreetly share extra details, ensuring you receive the right support instantly.

How Sunflower Extra benefits you
Sunflower Extra builds on our original cards by giving you even more control. We created this card in response to feedback from Sunflower wearers wanting to share extra info about what support they need. Just like the existing personalised Sunflower card you can add your photo, name, and choose from icons that show the type of support you may need, as well as adding extra information to your digital page, all securely and privately shared when you choose.
Extra Information
The personalised Sunflower card already helps you receive support without repeatedly explaining yourself. But sometimes, you may want to share more specific details about the assistance you require. Whether it’s finding a quiet space at a busy train station or receiving guidance in a retail store, Sunflower Extra lets you communicate the support you need digitally, helping you navigate life with greater confidence.
Enhanced privacy
You choose what to share, so your info stays as private or open as you want it to be. You only share what you’re comfortable with. You can adapt the information based on your situation, making Sunflower Extra flexible.
Why it matters
Many disabilities aren’t immediately apparent to others, it is estimated that up to 80% are not visible. This can affect how people access and enjoy spaces around them. True inclusivity means making changes that help everyone feel they belong, and Sunflower Extra is designed to do just that.
No app required
Sunflower Extra uses near-field communication (NFC) technology, so you don’t need to download any extra apps. Just like how Apple Wallet or Android Pay works, this feature is built right into most modern smartphones. All you have to do is tap your card on a mobile device, and the extra information you want to share pops up instantly. Whether you have an iPhone or an Android device, you can use Sunflower Extra right away. It’s a simple, seamless solution that makes getting the support you need as effortless as a tap.
