🔥 ATTENTION 🔥 Many people with hidden disabilities are frustrated with the abuse of Sunflower Lanyards... 😞
The Sunflower Lanyard was introduced in 2016 to allow people who have hidden disabilities to get the help they need in public settings.
Since the pandemic, many people have confused them as ‘mask exemption lanyards’ (TV shows such as ‘This Morning’ have added to this confusion).
There’s a HUGE increase in people abusing the system as the lanyards are only 55p to buy (with no proof of disability required) DUE TO THIS many people without disabilities are buying lanyards to get out of wearing a face covering while shopping AFFECTING people who use them as a disability aid.
NOT ONLY THIS but some people are buying the lanyards to sell for profit on eBay and Amazon Marketplace 😞
*Please note this post was written by two people on the autistic spectrum who want to save the Sunflower Lanyard from becoming worthless.
Have you witnessed abuse of the Sunflower Lanyard?...
