Where you can meet:

  • Cafés, parks, and public spaces
  • Museums, cultural centres, and community spaces
  • Online via video call

Never:

  • At either person's home
  • In remote or isolated locations
  • On trips or holidays - these fall outside the programme

What you can do together:

  • Coffee or a meal
  • Walks and outdoor activities
  • Museum or cultural visits
  • Sports and physical activity
  • Exploring the city
  • Language exchange and conversation
  • Watching a film or attending an event
  • Helping with everyday tasks like errands or appointments
  • Online hangouts if meeting in person isn't possible

The most important thing is that your Buddy feels comfortable and that activities are accessible to both of you.
