What’s Gig Buddies all about?

Matching people with volunteers who share their interests, so they can go to gigs, evening events, or simply hang out – as equals and as friends.

“Our projects are all about supporting people with learning disabilities and autistic people to live the lives they choose.

We’re here to challenge the idea that disabled people should live restricted or isolated lives. Everyone deserves friendship, fun, a social life that reflects who they are and the freedom to Stay Up Late if they want to!

We’re proud to be part of a growing community of Gig Buddies projects across the globe, all inspired by the original project we launched in Sussex in 2013.”
