Gig Buddies matches adults with learning disabilities and/or autism to volunteers who are into the same things as them, to go out and enjoy the scene they both love!

We fight for the right for adults with learning disabilities to access their local music scene, culture and engage in mainstream events. 

Gig Buddies makes sure that people with learning disabilities don't miss out on a vibrant social life by making sure they have people in their lives who aren't just paid to be there. 

  • "Gig Buddies is a lifeline..."

  • “The more we get to know each other the more we get to socialise and have fun. That is what it is about!"

  • "Gig Buddies creates a space for people to expand their social life and nightlife, encouraging community support and arts & cultural enrichment. I would recommend it to anyone wanting genuine connections. "

  • “My buddy has become one of my closest friends after we were matched 4 years ago. My world is a better place with him in it.”
