Leisure Buddies is a new initiative which supports adults with a disability to access social supports outside the traditional 9-5 day service hours.
The aim is to help them form friendships with their peers in their local community with the support of a volunteer. All volunteers will be offered training according to the role. Those who apply must be 18+ and available to volunteer once a month.
Coordinator Martina McGeough spoke with Eddie Butler on The Wider View:
