The Sunflower scheme

The Sunflower Scheme is brilliant you get a free lanyard and the staff then know you might need help be it reaching a top shelf, packing bags. I had Transverse Myelitis in 2005 so while I won’t give up, walking is agony. Sainsbury’s have a buggy so I ring to book one before I leave home do my shopping, a member of staff often helps pack my bags then accompanies me to my car, puts the bags in the boot and returns the buggy to the shop.

Hello Robin1974

So pleased to hear that this scheme works for you and makes shopping and getting out a little easier.

It's great to share positive experiences and news here, for everyone to see.

I have been considering using the Sunflower Lanyard Scheme for travelling this time. Might be worth carrying one just in case.

Best wishes and Merry Christmas to you.

I carry a cane when I am shopping. It helps with waling, it is there if I need protection, and it is great for pulling things down from those high shelves. :)

I have mine as sometimes look healthy. Was a bit weird but it’s good. Sainsbury’s are fab. Just need the person to unpack at home afterwards.
