Volunteer Buddy

Buddies for All is about finding buddies for disabled people. We are a buddying scheme that supports disabled people with social and leisure activities in London. We offer support to people with physical, sensory and hidden disabilities, such as chronic illnesses or neurological conditions, aged 18-65.

Buddies support disabled people via the telephone or video platforms such as Zoom or Google Meet. This provides the disabled person and the buddy with the maximum flexibility to access our service using their preferred method of communication.

Buddies also offer in-person face-to-face support for individuals who wish to access their local community to attend their favourite sporting or cultural events with the support of a volunteer buddy.

We match our volunteer buddies with our beneficiaries based on their likes, dislikes and interests to enable both parties to develop an organic relationship and support each other equally.
