Volunteer Application Form for Gig Buddies Dublin

Welcome! Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Gig Buddies. Gig Buddies is a volunteer befriending service that links volunteers (you) with someone in your community with similar interests who needs a bit of extra support going out. No matter your interests, as long as you have a love of fun, we would love to hear from you.

Important points (please read before starting)

Finding you a Gig Buddy can take time. Volunteers are matched with participants based on factors such as music tastes, hobbies and interests, geographical location and age. The more volunteers we have on file, the more likely we are to find volunteers who can be buddies for our participants. So please continue filling in this form and help us address social isolation for people with a learning disability/Autistic folks in Dublin

Successful volunteer applicants are asked to commit to the project for at least 12 months and attend at least one gig (or event) a month with their buddy.
Volunteers must be at least 18 years old.
We are an LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent safe space. Let us know if you need any extra support or have concerns - we'll be happy to help!
Please note that we are currently only taking Dublin-based volunteers, but this may change in the future.

If you have any questions, or need any extra assistance filling out this form, please get in touch at hello@gigbuddiesireland.ie
