We’re often asked, “How can I help?” However big or small, your support moves us closer to a society where people understand that an offer of help, understanding and kindness makes a difference to the daily experiences of someone with a hidden disability. You are the voice of Hidden Disabilities Sunflower and we have put together four ways that you can get the word out!
1. The digital Sunflower | 2. Things to download | 3. Share your stories | 4. The Supporter range |
Additional media resources, including meeting backgrounds and profile picture frames, are available for Sunflower Business members. Login to your account to access them.
The digital Sunflower
We often meet and communicate online to catch up with friends and family and for work or appointments. How can we ensure that this digital world supports Sunflower wearers?
Use the Sunflower badges below in your emails or on your profiles.

Things to download and share
Download, print and display information about the Sunflower in your window, your community or your workplace.
Awareness cards
Our cards will raise awareness of the Sunflower, the rule of six and non-visible disabilities. Download, print and fold them along the dotted lines.
Share your Sunflower stories
It's easy to feel that your story can’t possibly make a meaningful difference, but the truth is that it can influence individuals and the wider community. Suppose you or someone you care about has a noon-visible disability and wears the Sunflower. In that case, you can empower others living with a non-visible disability and encourage people to support them by sharing your experience.
Check out our podcast, Sunflower Conversations, and if it impacts you, share it with your friends and family.
Show your support for the Sunflower
Wear your ‘I Support’ pin badge, cap, or lanyard so that people know you support the Sunflower and can ask you about it. If you prefer a keyring or a wristband, we have those, too!
What we're doing
We raise awareness in many ways. We support businesses and charities to train their colleagues and to keep training them. We talk about the Sunflower and non-visible disabilities ... a LOT. To everyone we know and meet. We publish Sunflower Conversations and build relationships with individuals and groups all over the world.
