Sainsbury’s & Argos roll out hidden disability sunflower lanyards

Sainsbury’s and Argos has announced a nationwide roll-out of sunflower lanyards in stores as part of an initiative to support customers with hidden disabilities.

Following a successful trial earlier this year, the initiative offers shoppers the option to pick up a free sunflower lanyard in store, which has been designed to act as a sign for store colleagues that they may need to provide a customer with additional support.

Sainsbury’s staff will offer support such as assisting with finding shopping items or giving customers more time at the checkout.
