A scheme that helps people with learning disabilities or autism attend live events has been launched in Croydon.

Volunteers are being sought to get involved with the Gig Buddies project, which will match them to an adult with a learning disability who finds it difficult to get out and about on their own to enjoy live music, theatre, or comedy.

Club Soda will run ‘Gig Buddies Croydon’ in partnership with Croydon Council’s Learning Disability Commissioning Team.  For more information, go to: www.gigbuddiescroydon.co.uk.
