Buddies for All is a social and leisure buddying scheme that supports disabled people with all social and leisure activities in London. We support people with physical, sensory and hidden disabilities, such as chronic illnesses or neurological conditions, currently aged 18-65. However, as our organisation develops, it is our aim to provide a buddy to as many disabled people as possible, at our discretion based on the capabilities of our volunteers.
You can have a buddy if:
You are a disabled person
You want a buddy for a social or leisure activity
You are aged 18-65
Sorry, but we cannot offer a buddy to you if:
You do not consider yourself to be disabled
You have recently been detained or sectioned under the Mental Health Act
You need specialist support or advice to manage a mental health condition
You wish to attend hospital or other appointments
Any personal care is needed
Buddies for All will call the client within 5-10 working days to discuss their requirements in greater detail. If required, more information on our referral criteria can be found here: https://buddiesforall.org.uk/buddy-guidelines
