Find a Gig Buddy or Sports Buddy volunteer

If you live in Sussex and have a learning disability or are an autistic person who wants to go out and get more active then you’ve come to the right place.

We will aim to match you up with a volunteer buddy who enjoys the same things as you.

Sadly we can’t promise to find you someone but we will do our best.

It does depend on whether there is a volunteer who lives near you.

!Unfortunately, due to changes in funding and high demand we are unable to accept applications from East Sussex!
We are still open to applications from Brighton & Hove and West Sussex and for volunteer applications (in fact, we need more volunteers so we can open the list again).

Fill in the form below

This will help us to find out a bit more about you so we can see if we can help you.

What happens next?

You fill in the form above and click ‘submit’

We will see if we can find a volunteer in your area

We will contact you when we’ve found someone to say we think we can help you

We will arrange to meet with you and your new volunteer buddy to introduce you to each other

You’ll go out together to a gig, playing sport, dancing or whatever it is you choose to get up to together

If you have a question please get in touch with one of our staff team.
