Coffee Groups & Mates @ Maccas

North Shore Coffee Group

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

Please note:

Anyone who requires help or assistance to attend Coffee Group or Mates @ Maccas 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 are interested in attending a Coffee Group or Mates @ Maccas, but there is not currently one set up in your area, please contact us at cpsociety@cpsociety.org.nz.
