We’re looking for people to join our Buddy Up programme.
The Buddy Up project is running across West Essex (Epping Forest, Harlow and Uttlesford) and supports adults with autism or learning disabilities or both to access local activities by connecting them with other people, known as ‘buddies’ within the community.
How to volunteer
To become a buddy, contact Olivia Timotheou, Adult Disability Inclusion Officer, for an application form.
- Email otimotheou@eppingforestdc.gov.uk
- Call 07729 109006
Need a buddy?
If you or someone you know would like to be paired with a buddy, you can carry out a self-referral via the Epping Forest Frontline website or your GP/social prescriber can refer you.
Residents in Harlow or Uttlesford can self-refer via Harlow Frontline or Uttlesford Frontline websites.
