Generate's Buddy Scheme

Generate's Buddy Scheme offers young people with a mild to moderate learning disability who live in the Borough of Wandsworth a total of 24-48 hours of 1:1 targeted support spread out over a period of 3 months. This project offers young people aged 11 to 17 a short-term intervention to work on their goals and to take steps to try and make them a reality.

The main aims of our workers are to support choices, give a sense of control and independence and increase confidence and self-esteem.

This support is bespoken to the individual and their needs and has taken many forms such as:

  • Accessing Leisure facilities
  • Finding a positive peer group
  • Accessing mainstream services
  • Support to attend youth clubs and non-termtime activities

Anyone can refer a Young person to the Buddy Service.

Parents and young people can also refer themselves by calling Graham Ellis on 0790 432 6764 and asking for a referral form
