What are Gig Buddies Group Social Events?
Gig Buddies group social events are hosted by the GB team so that participants* with a Gig Buddies Service Agreement** and active volunteers can catch up and do fun stuff in a group setting.
Monthly group social events are held all over Metro Sydney and Central Coast.
* a Gig Buddies participant has mild to moderate learning disability and/or autism
** paying the monthly administration fee
The main focus of the Gig Buddies project is to "buddy-up" participants and volunteers so they can catch up and go to their own events together.
Gig Buddies group social events are a "bonus" way for participants to meet people and socialise.
All group social events are run as "not-for-profit".
Participants only pay for a group social event if they need to cover the cost of admission tickets, venue hire and/or catering.
Group social events are included* for all participants with an active service agreement with Gig Buddies.
* participants pay for their own food and drinks (unless a catered event)
