In lieu of gifts, and in recognition of the time, expertise, and generosity shared by all CSC2026 speakers, presenters, facilitators, and contributors, the CSC2026 Regional Organising Committee has chosen to make a meaningful contribution to Coast Shelter.

Coast Shelter is a leading not‑for‑profit organisation dedicated to providing specialist homelessness services, crisis accommodation, and a wide range of support programs for individuals and families across the NSW Central Coast. Their work strengthens our community by offering safety, dignity, and pathways toward independence for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

By directing our appreciation toward an organisation that delivers such vital support, we hope to extend the spirit of CSC2026 beyond the conference itself and contribute to positive, lasting impact within our region. This donation reflects our shared commitment to community wellbeing and our belief that collective action can help create a more secure and compassionate future for all.
