Join Our Tribe
The Buddies were founded to help families to improve their mental health and well-being. But also, to help families to create a sense of belonging and community.
We have some new t-shirts and tote bags coming your way this summer to raise funds but also to get our message out there to the local community of Bury.
Baby Buddies & You – Re-Launch
We have decided to re-launch Baby buddies & You at the Green Community Café. We have been asked for a younger child session within this area of Bury. The session will include a lovely bonding experience indoors as well as outdoors with your baby.
Experience baby massage, songs, parachute play and make friends!
Parents pamper pack is included for all parents. We want to treat you as much as your baby. We also became BOOBS Bury approved to say that we are a welcoming session for all mothers feeding their babies in any way they wish!
Mini Buddies
Our Mini Buddies session was re-launched last month at The Green Community Cafe at Clarence Park, Bury. We have been busy creating calm together and springtime crafts indoors as well as outdoors (We go out in all weathers)
“Emma is just lovely. We went to our first mini buddies session today and we felt very at home and comfortable from the get go. Thank you for the cup of tea (in peace might I add!!) we are looking forward to the next one”
This session meets on a Tuesday 9.45, and is currently £4 per child, any additional child is £1.50 for fun and friendship.
We have recently asked for funding from the local Walmersley Co-op & the Bury Lions Club.
Summer Classes
We have been busy creating a new summer Sessions for the whole family. The Buddies Pop-Up Pod will be coming to the “Valley Hidden Tea-Pod”, Birtle, on Thursday 23 & 30th July at 10.30 am!
Multi-Sensory Ideas To Create Calm This Summer:
Five multi-sensory ideas to help your family or organisations relaxation
Sound – Listening to some relaxing music, the birds singing in the trees, the sound of the breeze through your window.
Taste – Pick your favourite fruits or vegetables and cut them up in different shapes and sizes. Then when you feel like boosting yourself you can grab them from the fridge. ((Healthy treats))
Sight – What can you see? If you have visual impairments, please dig deep to think about your other senses. This can be such a powerful thing to do.
Smell – Find your favorite aroma this can come in many ways depending on your age. Aroma dough for the younger generation. Your favorite essential oil or warm drink/ cake for the older adult generation.
Touch – A sensory ball, different textures – cozy blankets, hats, scarves, gloves. Hugs, massage…
Grants
We have recently been granted a £100 grant from the Bury Lion Club to help with the running costs of our Bump & Baby Buddies/ Mini Buddies sessions. We are always on the look out for more local and national funding to help subsidize our sessions for those families who attend them! We have also been given enough arts & craft materials to last us for the next 12 months, from the Bury Lion’s Club.
