Personalize your Sunflower card
Here at Hidden Disabilities Sunflower, we believe that while everyone is equal, we are not all the same. As part of our commitment to helping you feel confident that you will be supported with the extra time, care, patience or understanding you may need when visiting businesses and organizations that have adopted the Sunflower, we have a range of Sunflower cards you can make your own. Whether your hidden disability is sight loss or hearing impairment, inability to stand for long periods or needing urgent access to toilet facilities, you can now discreetly highlight the support and care you might need.
Why make it yours?
In response to feedback from our Sunflower wearers about producing a wider variety of cards for specific non-visible disabilities and the type of support that is needed for each one, Sunflower wearers can add this information on the back of our expanded range of Sunflower cards.
You can choose the original Sunflower card with the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower logo and yellow sunflower on a green background to indicate that you have a hidden disability. Or, if you prefer, select one of our invisible disability-specific cards that clearly state the hidden disability on the front of the card.
On the back of these cards, we give you the freedom to specify the type of help you may need.
1. Add your photo - upload a high-resolution, clear photograph of yourself
2. Add your name - add the name that you want people to use when addressing you
3. Add details of the type of help you need - use the generic description or replace it with a message specific to your non-visible disability and the type of support you may need. It is important to add information you are comfortable with for people to know about.
4. Add icons - Use one of our icons described below to provide a quick visual cue about the type of support you need. Check out our free poster that provides an overview of all the icons to print and hang somewhere for your colleagues or staff to refer to. Download it here,
5. Add a contact - add a name and number to be contacted with your consent or in an emergency
