Gig Buddies matches adults with learning disabilities and/or autism to volunteers who are into the same things as them, to go out and enjoy the scene they both love, together!
This is a project for people who live in Croydon, and volunteers based in Croydon/surrounding boroughs.
Gig Buddies is about:
Culture
Community
Choice
Friendship
Our buddies came together to write this manifesto.
A manifesto describes who we are and what we stand for!
Who we are
Gig Buddies Croydon is run by Club Soda. We are a disability led music charity who host pioneering accessible live music events and club nights.
We are a community of gig goers, musicians and campaigners, working hard to break boundaries in music and media.
“Gig Buddies is a lifeline…”
“The more we get to know each other the more we get to socialise and have fun.
That is what it is about!”
We are a small charity who are funded by The National Lottery. We rely on the goodwill of our volunteers.
We understand that funds are hard to come by, but if you would like to make a donation, any money you can spare goes towards; epic social events, supporting pairs to access new experiences and keeping the project going.
