Many organisations are very welcoming to people with a disability. Some organisations have told us they would like to meet you if you are interested. You can ask a disability support service to help you make contact and make sure you are well supported to enjoy the activities on offer (see page Community Connections). Some organisations have programs specifically for people with a disability, like Equine Supported Programs. Other organisations don’t, but are keen to include you in their activities.
Examples are:
Equine Supported Programs (People experience activities with horses which are healing & supportive for their overall well-being (experiential Growth, Learning & Healing): click here
