Campaign to make the invisible visible
People with hidden disabilities are being encouraged to take advantage of an initiative which aims to make the invisible, visible.
Compassionate Isle of Man is supporting the Sunflower Scheme – a lanyard which discretely identifies that the wearer may need extra help.
It’s hoped it will raise awareness of issues faced by people with chronic medical conditions, mental health issues, learning difficulties and visual or hearing impairments.
Wendy Smith is leading the project – she’s hopeful that Island businesses will show support:
Bus drivers to hold off taking industrial action while talks continue
Regulation of Health and Social Care Bill pushed back to 2027
Manx patients will be contacted if appointments are impacted by UK strikes
Patient taken to hospital after medical emergency on board Manxman
