Sunflower Scheme

Sunflower Lanyard Scheme

Annabelle's Challenge has partnered with the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Scheme and Sunflower lanyards with EDS awareness cards are available free of charge to Annabelle's Challenge members diagnosed with vEDS through our online shop.

A discreet way to make the invisible visible.

Wearing the Sunflower discreetly indicates to people around the wearer including staff, colleagues and health professionals that they need additional support, help or a little more time.

Since the Sunflower was established in the UK in 2016, it has been adopted globally by organisations to support both their colleagues and customers.

The Sunflower is now recognised across a broad range of sectors - ranging from retail, financial services, transport including over 130 airports, travel and tourism as well as over 450 universities, schools and colleges, all of the UK railway network, theme parks, supermarkets, leisure facilities, healthcare, financial services, emergency services, theatres and over 350 charities.

The Sunflower has now been launched locally in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Ireland, Latin America, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the UK, the UAE and the USA.
