Big Buddy is all about building confidence and resilience in the lives of boys whose father is not around. We do this by matching volunteers, good guys from the community with boys aged between 7 and 14 years. They simply spend time together, a few hours a week. The Big Buddy relationship offers friendship, support and a good male role model to look up to.
Together our Buddies enjoy the simple things in life - walking the dog, throwing a ball around, spending time together. This regular contact and genuine interest in a Little Buddy’s life provides a real anchor for him as he grows up.
Big Buddy's mentoring programme matches boys without a male influence in their lives with volunteers, good guys with big hearts, just like you, who help them grow into good men.
