Historic Royal Palaces joins Hidden Disabilities Sunflower network
Historic Royal Palaces (HRP), an independent charity, has joined the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower network to better support visitors with invisible disabilities. The Sunflower symbol, recognized globally, allows individuals with non-visible conditions such as autism, chronic pain, dementia, anxiety, or sensory sensitivities to discreetly indicate they may need extra support, understanding, or time. This initiative is part of HRP's broader ambition to become a charity for everyone and reduce barriers to accessing its historic sites. The partnership builds on HRP's ongoing work to create inclusive environments across its palaces.
