⭐❗SHSU DISABILITY AWARENESS LANYARDS ARE NOW AVAILABLE❗ ⭐

Last month as part of Invisible Disabilties Awareness Week, we passed a bidding pot to purchase disability awareness lanyards and face mask exemption cards.

These are NOW AVAILABLE to be collected from the Students Union. They are just inside the door to the HUBS so you don't need an appointment, just pop in and collect one.

There is a box of just the lanyards and a box which has a face mask exemption card on the lanyard.
