Sports Buddies launched in July 2021, pairing people with and without learning disabilities to build friendships through regular sport and exercise.
Sports Buddies is a lot like Gig Buddies, but with a focus on getting active. We match volunteers with people with a learning disability and/or autistic people who enjoy the same sport or exercise. Buddies meet regularly to get moving, build skills, and have fun.
Sports Buddies has recently lost its funding, and we need your support to keep this vital project going. If you or your organisation would like to support our work helping people with learning disabilities build friendships through sport, please get in touch. Let’s talk about how we can make it happen together.
