Contact: We will communicate changes of plans via Whatsapp, so please join the Queens Court Whatsapp group to receive important event updates.

Accommodations: At OSG, our staff are not direct service providers, so we ask that each participant attending an event brings any personal support they may need for their well-being and engagement. This may include, but is not limited to, caregivers, communication partners, or mobility aids. That said, with prior notice, we can arrange group-wide accommodations during event planning. These might include ensuring wheelchair-accessible routes or selecting allergen-safe menus. Additional accommodations are available upon request, though they may not be listed here. To discuss your specific needs and help us make our events more inclusive, please contact us at [email protected] with the subject line "Accommodation Request."

*Note: Sign-up is mandatory. Be sure to RSVP so we know to expect you.
