Gig Buddies is a great initiative founded by ACL Disability Services, that pairs people with and without learning disabilities to and form firm friendships and attend events together. Their mantra? that people with learning disabilities have the right to stay up late and have some fun!

Following the release of their recent mid-year report, Gig Buddies’s Community Engagement Coordinator Matthew Collins and current Gig Buddy Tim Hardyman joined Friday Drive’s Danny Chifley to chat the British beginnings of the program, the trials and tribulations of the last 6 months and how the Cronulla Sharks are connected to all of this.
