Coffee Groups

Coffee Groups are a good way to connect with other members, socialise and make friends. The Cerebral Palsy Society has groups running in a few regions around New Zealand, enabling members living with Cerebral Palsy – Hōkai Nukurangi to connect. Please come along and join us – check out our list of Coffee Group locations below.

A companion, support worker and/or family member is welcome to accompany members to these groups. Up to $15 worth of refreshments per person is provided compliments of the Cerebral Palsy Society.

Important information:

Anyone who requires help or assistance to attend Coffee Group must be accompanied by a carer or support worker.
Attendees need to be a financial member of the Cerebral Palsy Society. You can learn more about becoming a member here.

If you have any questions, or you are interested in attending a Coffee Group but there is not one currently set up in your area, please contact us on 0800 503 603 or email cpsociety@cpsociety.org.nz.
Our Coffee Groups are hosted by volunteers and we are always looking for people to host groups in their community.

You can meet some of our coffee group hosts here.
