Gig Buddies has come to dublin!

Gig Buddies Ireland CLG is a Registered Non-Profit in Ireland.

We are starting in Ireland with our Gig Buddies Dublin project! Which means that we are only matching Gig Buddies who are based in Dublin.

Gig Buddies itself is an already established charity in the UK and other countries. We loved the idea so much that we are bringing it to Ireland!

The aim of Gig Buddies is to enable:

1. Adults with a Learning Disability

2. Autistic adults with a Learning Disability, and

3. Autistic adults with support needs in relation to going to events

to enjoy the great things they want to enjoy in their community.

Gig Buddies is a voluntary befriending service that pairs up people with high support needs in the area of going out with people with low to no support needs in this area to be friends and to go to events together (or just enjoy mutual interests, it doesn’t have to be events!). Our aim is for people to have fun, connect, make friends, and do cool things that they both want to do.

The Gig Buddies project aims to make volunteering easier for people in Ireland by enabling volunteers to go to gigs and do things that they would already probably be doing anyway, but with someone who likes what they like, but who just needs a bit of extra support.
