International Day of Persons with Disabilities, a global awareness day, is designed to drive positive change. Encouraging considered thought and actionable objectives, not only for disabled people, but by people with disabilities.

Improving the entire spectrum of society, from political, social, economic, and cultural life.

Not only do leadership roles held by people with disabilities enforce an inclusive approach, but they also demonstrate strong, positive role modelling for sustainable social progress as increased job roles become accessible.

As a society, we need to start looking around us, noticing where improvements are required, and add our voices to the movement; that is where allyship becomes critical.

Share your thoughts in the comments and start the conversation today. 🌻

🎙️ 📢 NEW The Sunflower Conversations podcast – FND with Simone Round

Simone Round shares how a hand tremor evolved into a complex FND diagnosis, now consisting of tics, chronic migraines, non‑epileptic seizures, and the reality of becoming an ambulant wheelchair user.

We learn about Simone’s symptoms and the reality of going from a busy and active carer to living with chronic illness.

In this episode, Simone talks us through her journey from an active lifestyle and career, working over 70 hours a week, to the steps she takes to support her mental health and wellbeing.

Simone also describes the differences between carers and PAs and how her independence feels restored since having the aid of one.

See the Sunflower? Here’s how to show support.

1. Be patient, the person may need extra time
2. Offer help, but don’t assume, just simply ask "How how can I help you".
3. Be kind, small acts of understanding mean so much
4. Never ask them why they are wearing the Sunflower

Together, we can make the world more welcoming for people with non-visible disabilities.

Do you know our Sunflower story?

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower was chosen because the sunflower is a universally recognised and cheerful symbol that suggests happiness, positivity, strength, growth, and confidence.

It’s discreet yet visible, its bright yellow colour and distinctive shape make it easy to spot from a distance, helping wearers feel recognised without needing to explain their disability out loud.

- Discreet yet visible: subtle, but clear enough to show you may need extra support
- Positive and uplifting: sunflowers spread warmth and understanding
- Universally recognised: a sunflower means something good, wherever you are in the world

Without a clear, visual sign, it can be hard to understand the daily barriers faced by people with a non-visible disability. The Sunflower helps bridge that gap, with just one small symbol.

Have you seen the Sunflower Extra card?

Your Sunflower lanyard already shows you have a non-visible disability and might need a bit more time, help or understanding. The Sunflower Extra card goes a step further, it helps you quietly share more details about the help you need, when you want to.

How? You carry your card with you, just like your normal Sunflower card. When you want to share more information, you simply hold your card near a smartphone (yours or someone else’s). A private page pops up on the screen with the details you chose to share, so you don’t have to explain things out loud.

More support. Less explaining. More Confidence. 🌻
