Sonas Social Centre
A community space for older adults in Mervue

Whether you’re looking to meet new people, catch up with friends, or are looking for something engaging to do, Sonas is for you.
We offer a variety of activities including breakfast clubs, afternoon tea, group walks, art classes and more. Centre programs are designed to help older people stay socially active and connected within their community.
Our aim is to support older people to maintain healthy, independent lives in their homes, and remain connected in their community – ensuring no older person feels alone or isolated.
