Our Story
Buddies was founded with a heartfelt mission: to provide an affordable and compassionate respite service for caregivers supporting loved ones on their journey with Alzheimer’s or Dementia. However, along the way, we recognised another challenge many individuals face—the battle against loneliness.
With this in mind, Buddies evolved to not only offer respite care but also to create a warm, welcoming space where people can connect, share, and find comfort in companionship.
Although Buddies was officially founded in 2024, our Selsey Centre team manager, Chantelle, brings years of experience in the care sector. Her deep understanding of Dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Special Educational Needs (SEND), combined with her compassionate nature and strong leadership skills, makes her the perfect person to lead this initiative. Her dedication to providing quality care and fostering meaningful connections is at the heart of everything we do.
At Buddies, we believe that no one should feel alone on their journey. Whether you're a caregiver in need of support or an individual looking for companionship, we are here for you.
A Friendly And Inviting Atmosphere
We understand that every person is unique, which is why we tailor our services to meet the specific needs of each individual. Our centre is designed to feel like a home away from home, with a warm and inviting atmosphere where people can relax and enjoy their day.
Our trained staff members are dedicated to providing compassionate care, offering emotional support, and ensuring each participant has a fulfilling experience during their time at the centre.
Engaging Activities For Everyone
At Buddies Day Centre, we believe that keeping the mind and body active is key to maintaining a high quality life.
We offer a variety of engaging activities to stimulate the mind, foster creativity, and promote physical well-being.
Some of our offerings include:
Two-Course Hot Meal And Refreshments
We believe that good nutrition plays an important role in overall well-being. At Buddies Day Centre, we provide a delicious two-course hot meal each day, ensuring that our participants enjoy a nutritious and satisfying lunch.
In addition to the main meal, we offer refreshments throughout the day, including tea, coffee, and a selection of snacks. This ensures everyone stays hydrated and energised, while also providing a welcoming space for socializing during mealtimes.
Days Out And Special Events
We love getting out and about! Our day trips are designed to provide participants with the opportunity to enjoy new experiences, explore local attractions, and socialise in a different setting. Whether it's a visit to a nearby park, a local museum, or a fun outing to a café, we ensure everyone feels included and has a wonderful time.
