IT'S ALL ABOUT FRIENDSHIPS

Gig Buddies volunteering is for everyone – yes, even you! You don’t need any experience, just an open mind, some spare time and a willingness to share what you enjoy.

​

We believe people with learning disabilities and autistic people should have real friendships with people who choose to be in their lives, not because they’re paid to be.

​

It’s not about providing support or replacing paid services. It’s about sharing interests, enjoying the things you both love and building a genuine friendship.

​

We aim to tackle social isolation and help create a more inclusive, connected community where everyone can enjoy the things they love and feel part of their local community.


One friendship at a time.
