Promoting the right for people with learning disabilities to have a choice about how they live their lives

Gig Buddies

Would you like to get out to more gigs?

We’re particularly looking for volunteers in the Hastings area in East Sussex.

If you have a learning disability and would like to go to more events, join Gig Buddies!

You’ll be paired with somebody who shares your interests and passions for live music to attend gigs with.

Your buddy will have a full criminal records check and will be informed about how to support you best.
