The idea for the Hidden Disability Sunflower was born in 2016 at Gatwick Airport in England.
The Airport Passenger Advisory Group, the Gatwick Team worked with local and national charities to assess whether using a lanyard would benefit people living with hidden disabilities.
Following this evaluation, the group chose a lanyard with sunflowers on a green background to reflect the idea of confidence, growth and strength, as well as introducing happiness and positivity.
Since then, thousands of businesses around the world in every sector have joined the global network.
