Buddies Day Service

Buddies Day Service We are on the specialist provider framework for South Glos., Bristol, BANES and N Somerset We have called the service Buddies with a strap line of...….

Buddies Day Service supports adults with a Learning Disability, Chromosomal Deletion Syndromes, Autism/Asperger's, Mental Health Diagnosis, Sensory Impairment, ABI. We are Mark and Debbie, a husband-and-wife team who, jointly, have six wonderful children, four of whom have a learning disability and/or autism. Over the years, we have experienced numerous difficulties in finding suitable care and provision for their individual needs. Over the past 20 years, as they moved from child services to adult services, this became even more challenging. This is an ongoing issue for many parents and carers here in South Gloucestershire, Bristol, and the surrounding area, where there is a real need for quality and appropriate provision of adult day care, which we and many other parents and carers agree, is not presently being delivered. For this reason, we set up BUDDIES, an adult day service for people with a learning disability, autism, mental health diagnosis, sensory impairment, acquired brain injury, predominately aged 18 to 65. This is not a rigid framework, and we can include someone over 65 and or transitioning from age 16. We are located on Station Road in Yate, right next to Yate Train Station and on one of the main bus routes from Bristol or Gloucestershire so very accessible. We provide a fun and entertaining place to spend the day with friends, where everyone who attends can feel safe, supported, and enjoy activities, tailored to their own specific needs. The activities include arts and crafts, bingo, puzzles, group games, board games, dance, karaoke, music, Makaton sing & sign, quizzes, cookery and baking, going out for walks within the local community, going out for coffee/tea/drinks, days out in the wider community. We will also encourage our users to tell us what they want to do, if it is appropriate and within our ability to provide it, then we will do so. our place, our space. This is simply because we want our guys to feel just that, their place, and their space. We are open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, from 9:30am to 4:00pm and we are now taking registrations for Monday and Wednesday for our service here in Yate. We would be delighted to discuss your registration and talk you through the admissions process.

🌳 A Lovely Day! 🦆🐕🎃

Our group spent a wonderful day at the park — we enjoyed lunch surrounded by ducks, swans, and even a little dog who decided to join us and make friends! 🥰

Afterward, we got creative making cakes and crafting material pumpkins. Such a fun and cozy day with great company!
