We're hoping to make it easier for people living in the Hibiscus and Bays areas, as well as around the Kaipara and Northland to meet with others in a casual, friendly support group.
We know that some people from further north, need to have medical appointments in Auckland. There’s quite a crossover in our medical and support requirements.
Do join us. Bring friends and family. We try to sit at a long table. And we display the Scleroderma New Zealand booklet. (We also always have enough for you to take away a few copies.)

If friends or relations are staying with you, do bring them to coffee. They can learn lots. And we enjoy meeting new people.
This is the AUCKLAND group. Hopefully people from the south of Auckland City can come. The venue is reasonably close to the motorway. A couple of people have even driven from Waikato to join us.
