“Living with MND affects every part of daily life. My walking, balance, and speech are deteriorating, and even simple conversations can be frustrating when my voice isn’t clear.” Kirk Gittens

The Sunflower team joined Kirk and his supporters on Saturday for a bungee jump to raise awareness of, and money for, Motor Neurone Disease (MND/ALS). The jump was organised by Kirk, who was diagnosed with the disease 5 years ago and is putting all his energy into supporting the MND Association so that others can benefit from the investment in research and the support the charity provides to individuals diagnosed with it and their families.

Kirk set the tone for boldness and bravery, offering positive encouragement to everyone who participated.

We believe it's the first time that a Sunflower has done a bungee jump, and we are very proud of Chantal for facing her fear of heights.

This month there will be a new episode on the Sunflower Conversations podcast with the MND Association and Jon Machel, subscribe so you don't miss it.

The fundraising link is still open. Please show your support and read Kirk's story here

Seen someone wearing a Sunflower lanyard and not sure what it means? 🌻

It’s a simple, discreet way for someone to show they may have a non-visible disability and could need:
• Extra time
• Patience
• Understanding
• Support

This could include people living with ADHD, autism, anxiety, dementia, hearing loss, chronic pain, epilepsy, mental health conditions and many other non-visible disabilities or chronic illnesses.

You don’t need to do anything differently.
And you should never ask someone what their disability is.

If someone needs support, simply ask:
“How can I help?”

Then let them lead the conversation in the way that feels comfortable for them 💚

June is PTSD Awareness Month

When someone develops Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, their brain and body can continue to respond as though danger is still present - even long after the traumatic experience has ended.

Trauma can come from many different experiences, including abuse, violence, accidents, military combat, bereavement, bullying, neglect, workplace trauma, difficult childhood experiences, relationship trauma, or repeated situations where someone felt unsafe, trapped, powerless, or overwhelmed.

People living with PTSD or Complex-PTSD may experience flashbacks, nightmares, panic attacks, hypervigilance, sensory overwhelm, difficulty concentrating, memory problems, emotional distress, or a constant feeling of being unsafe - even in everyday situations.

These symptoms can make travelling, shopping, attending appointments, or being in busy public places incredibly challenging.

That’s why we were proud to work alongside PTSD UK and members of their community to co-create dedicated PTSD and C-PTSD Sunflower cards - helping people discreetly signal that they may need extra understanding, patience, support, or space.

Because not every disability is visible.
