Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Lanyard

As part of The Centre’s ongoing commitment to making our shopping centre as inclusive and accessible as possible, Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Lanyards are available free of charge for customers. If you require a lanyard please speak to a member of our team who will be happy to provide one.

The Sunflower Lanyard is a practical way for people to indicate that they have a hidden disability, that they are medically exempt from wearing a face covering while in centre, or that they may require additional assistance during their visit.
