Gig Buddy (MK42) 5448
Living It Up
Supporting adults with learning disabilities or autism to access shared interests and activities. If you like musicals, films, eating out and boogying on the dance floor, you may well be the ideal match for this buddy!
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 with a vast range of interests, particularly West End musicals, concerts, cinema trips, eating out, dancing at discos, playing board games, swimming and horse riding. If you’re up for any of these activities, you just may be the match for this buddy! They travel independently on local buses, though a volunteer with their own car would be preferable for trips outside the local area.

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 outing/activity a month.
