Sports Buddies is one of our newest projects
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 share an interest in the same sport or type of exercise. Buddies meet regularly to get moving, build confidence and skills, and enjoy all the benefits of being active together. Whether it’s going swimming, joining a local football team, trying out the gym, or taking a regular walk, Sports Buddies is about making mainstream sport and exercise more accessible, social and fun. Through shared interests and consistent meet-ups, we help people stay active, form friendships, and feel part of their local community.
