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:
Doctors accept three-year pay offer
Seven acts promulgated in final Tynwald Day ceremony before election
Sharp rise in data breaches on Island, says Information Commissioner's Office
Footage circulating on social media 'now an active investigation'
Annual Tynwald Day celebrations to get underway
