Buddy Scheme
A Maypole Buddy Maypole team member will be paired with a young person or child to be there buddy. The buddy session will either be remote and online as zoom call or face to face with in a park or outdoor space. The idea of the session is to engage in a different activity like art, quizzes, or a board game. Or if they are face to face in a park using the playground or sports based activity.
The buddy sessions are designed to alleviate isolation and to give a brief respite for parents as well encourage social interaction and create a buddy.
The sessions can be weekly, bi-weekley or monthly to suit the needs of the child.
The length of a session if on a zoom call is 30 mins if the session is face to face it can be up to an hour.
