Come and Try Activities
Why have Come & Try’s?
The Program of presentations and performances are the ‘main’ activity at HaS conference. C&T activities are a secondary activity.
They are an optional activity for people with disabilities. The aim is to provide:
- accessible alternatives to workshops & presentations
- a way to break up the day for people who back to back session difficult
- an opportunity for social interaction and networking
- an opportunity to try new activities that they might to do in the community
- an opportunity to learn new skills
How many C&T’s can I do?
C&T’s are only open to participants with a disability who are registered for the conference.
So, workers, family members or exhibitors can not book for C&T’s. (Note: where a participant requires someone with them in the activity, a support worker/carer can attend with them to assist the participant to join in the C&T activity)
Participants with disability registered for the conference can do two C&T activities:
- they can choose one C&T Activity on Tuesday and one on Wednesday
plus they can attend ‘open’ activities on the Thursday morning that do not need to be booked into
NOTE: Come & Try Bookings close on the 19th January 2025
DISCLAIMER
The Organisers would like participants to note that these activities are offered as optional extras to the main conference program. While every precaution has been taken to ensure that all participants will be safe, individuals choose to undertake the activities at their own risk.
