Gig Buddies Central Coast stands to tackle social isolation and to increase the social circles of all participants. We’re a fun and growing community – and we’re looking for people from all walks of life and are all determined on someone’s personal interests.

We are looking for a buddy who likes the outdoors (bush walking, rock climbing, going on adventures), is into country music and is open to karaoke, going to the cinema or visiting the local RSL for a bite to eat and a game of pool. A ‘blokey bloke’ who’s down to earth and likes a chat.

Once paired up, ‘buddies’ attend outings and events of their choosing.

Gig Buddies requests that volunteers dedicate around 5–10 hours a month minimum. We’re looking for adults located throughout the Central Coast.

As for when paired buddies catch up, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Everyone’s personal circumstances are taken into consideration – the project aims to ensure both the adult with disability and volunteer mutually benefits.

To be referred to this role an interview with Volunteering Central Coast is required. You will be contacted soon to arrange a mutually convenient time and place.
