Members of the Dunedin-based group, dedicated to fostering relationships for people with disabilities, gathered for their first official event of 2026. A weekly coffee club acts as a regular gathering point for about 45 Dunedin members. Topics include friendship skills, sexuality, emotions, communication, participation, drama and meeting others. It has supported connections in regions including Invercargill, Taupō and Palmerston North, alongside the core Dunedin membership.
