Gig Buddy (MK42) 5443
Living It Up
Supporting adults with learning disabilities or autism to access shared interests and activities. We are looking for a volunteer who is interested in catching a movie at the cinema, engaging in sports and board games, and listening to different styles of music.
Gig Buddies matches members and volunteers based on their interests so that they can enjoy shared activities together. Once matched the idea is that you do something with your Gig Buddy once a month. No special experience is required—just enthusiasm and kindness! We’re looking for people who are friendly, reliable and up for a laugh, as well as being keen to explore gigs, theatre festivals or sports without someone new. If you’re excited about making a genuine, lasting friendship, this could be the role for you! We are looking for a volunteer to match with a buddy fond of trips to the cinema, playing sports (including wheelchair football and boccia), board games and listening to music, particularly Mexican pop, disco and Coldplay.

Organising & Planning
You don’t need any special skills to become a Gig Buddy — just kindness, reliability, and a willingness to spend time doing things you enjoy with someone else. Every volunteer brings something unique, and your life experience, interests, and personality are all valuable.
The volunteer will get support with their expenses each month. They will be able to use carers tickets to go to events. It's volunteering made fun! You will be doing an activity that you love doing and making a friend along the way.
One activity/outing every month.

Bedford/Kempston - our buddy can use accessible buses and trains, and so activity localities can be discussed and arranged with this in mind.
