Buddies Scheme
Our Volunteer Buddies Scheme can help you if you need support to access activities e.g. joining a keep fit group or a training course.
Buddies are volunteers who will support you one-to-one, for example with:
- making steps to improve your health and wellbeing e.g. buddies can support you in your quest to get fit by going to the gym or an exercise class with you
- confidence building e.g. our buddies will accompany you on a trip to the shops, a training course or lunch to build your confidence
- making new friends e.g. buddies will accompany you to groups or simply be your friend
With a buddy, you will receive the support and encouragement you need to motivate yourself, whether to try something new, gain a qualification, or stay fit and active. Buddies will be there for you all the way.
