BuDS Needs Meeting & Office Space

Ben Clark

BuDS needs somewhere for staff and volunteers to meet up Covid-safely. As such, we are looking for an office space to rent or lease in 2023.

We are looking for a self-contained space with its own toilet, entrance, and other facilities. It needs to be a minimum of 150 sqm, and not share facilities with any other premises. As we are a Buckinghamshire charity, we need a space in a Bucks town centre that is easily accessible from across the county, and that is close to disabled parking with suitable access to the premises.

We will install our own air filtration and purification technology to ensure clean air for all users. Alongside other Covid precautions, we intend that our meeting and office space will be a safe place to work for everyone, including people who are clinically vulnerable to Covid-19.

If you want more information about this, or have a space to recommend, please contact Janneke. Many thanks!

Volunteer at the COAM Christmas Weekend

Freya Clark

Please note volunteer applications have closed for this event.

Do you want to help support disabled people and get to attend an amazing event? BuDS is looking for event volunteers for the Chiltern Open Air Museum Christmas Weekend, on the 3rd and 4th December 2022.

The event will show how Christmas was celebrated in the past and give you the opportunity to see some of the Museum’s historic buildings traditionally decorated for Christmas. There will be an artisan Christmas market and the Museum’s shop will be full of handmade products.

We are excited to support this event to be more inclusive and accessible for all disabled people by providing an access information and support, and an emergency quiet space.

Volunteers will get free time to enjoy the event and will be able to enjoy the demonstrations, or just have some chill out time!

Strict Covid-safety protocols will be in place to keep everyone safe and every volunteer will be provided with a BuDS polo shirt and PPE face mask.

If you’d like to be part of the volunteer team for this amazing event, please fill in the expression of interest form, and we will be in touch! Disabled people are very welcome to volunteer, and we have a wide range of roles to suit everyone.

We are very welcoming, even if you can only commit to an hour during the weekend.
