Is anyone good with a camera? or do you know someone who is?
I need some new photos taken of the centre, especially a good one in the chamber. These are needed for an updated centre leaflet.
Please contact Sue asap please.
Thanks

How the sunflower lanyard helped me travel with invisible symptoms
Source MS Society: I find travelling stressful. Having to deal with invisible symptoms from MS has made it harder. I worry about being judged by other people if I need assistance when I may look fine.
The sunflower lanyard scheme, being used across UK airports, has improved my confidence in air travel.
Making hidden disabilities visible
Wearing a sunflower lanyard is a visible but discreet way of alerting staff that you may need extra assistance or have a hidden disability. The scheme was originally launched at Gatwick Airport and has now been adopted by most major airports in the UK. Work is being carried out to expand its reach further.
You can request the lanyards for free at airport customer service desks or order them cheaply through the Hidden Disabilities Store website. Read on.
