On Auckland’s North Shore we run Dees Social Group in a partnership between Presbyterian Support Northern and the Mairangi Bay Presbyterian Church.

Dees Group is a fun, friendly and stimulating environment for people living with early to moderate dementia, who are living at home. Others looking for a social occasion are also welcome. Members meet once a week. Each four-hour session provides friendship and stimulation for members, and a welcome break for their families.

Please contact our Social Group Facilitator Margaret Pont on (09) 489 3176 or email margaret.pont@psn.org.nz for more info about this social group.

Some examples of our group activiites include: 

  • Tai chi and ball skills
  • Social conversation
  • Indoor bowls
  • Board games and quizzes
  • Singing
  • Memory games
  • Entertainment
