The Sunflower Lanyard Scheme helps those who have a non visible disability to discreetly indicate that they need extra support or a little more time.
GWR are taking part in this scheme which is designed for both adults and children.
Lanyards with a simple sunflower design are available for free from the GWR Passenger Assist Team on 0800197 1329, by email passenger.assist@GWR.com or by contacting GWR on social media. Once travel restrictions allow, the lanyards will also be available from station ticket offices.
Accessible travel for everyone is so important. In the current difficult time, the deaf for instance find communication particularly awkward with face coverings common place.
I am therefore particularly pleased to help promote this scheme and praise GWR for this initative, along with all other travel companies similarly helping.
