Youth and young adults – join us for Mates @ Maccas 

Coffee groups are a good way to connect with other members, socialise and make friends. But we reckon most youth would bypass a tea or coffee and a scone in favour of a burger and fries.
So, in addition to the Cerebral Palsy Society’s Coffee Groups that are on offer in Auckland, Hamilton, Masterton and Christchurch, we are trialing Mates @ Maccas in Auckland and Christchurch for our members aged 15-25. The first one kicks off on May 31.

Mates @ Maccas will give some of our younger members living with Cerebral Palsy the chance to socialise and connect.

If you are over the age of 25, we kindly ask that you join one of our Coffee Groups. 

A companion, support worker and/or family member is welcome to accompany members to our Coffee Groups and Mates @ Maccas. 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
• Anyone aged under 18 must complete a permission slip before attending Mates @ Maccas for the first time (please see the forms below)
