Volunteering as a
"Gig Buddy"
This page is for volunteers who want to go to events with an adult with a learning disability and/or autism.
What does a "Gig Buddy" volunteer do?
As a "Gig Buddy" you will assist an adult with mild to moderate learning disability and/or autism to access the community, attend events, and have fun!
No experience is needed!
You will receive training and ongoing support.
You and your buddy will go to an event, activity or catch up once a month for at least 12 months.
You and your buddy choose the events and activities you both want to attend.

5 Steps to being a volunteer "Gig Buddy"
What volunteers are saying about Gig Buddies
"It’s been such a special, fulfilling time.
Meeting Kieran has bettered me as a person and I learn things from him all the time.
We have a lot of fun and it is drama free.
Very refreshing when compared to other relationships/areas of life."

Volunteer
At Gig Buddies we have another volunteering role that is perfect for people who can't commit to being a "Gig Buddy".
The role is called a "Group Social Support" (GSS) volunteer.
As a GSS you will help out at Gig Buddies group social events.
