Chichester Festival Theatre Buddy Scheme: Theatre for everyone!

At Vitale Care, we help our clients live confidently and independently by providing compassionate, supportive care at home. That’s why we are proud to sponsor the Chichester Festival Theatre Buddy Scheme. This free companion service helps ensure everyone can enjoy the magic of theatre comfortably and confidently.

This partnership is a perfect fit for our values. Both Vitale Care and the Buddy Scheme share the same goal. We help people continue to do what they love, regardless of age or mobility challenges.

The Chichester Festival Theatre Buddy Scheme:

This free companion service is available to help you feel comfortable and supported during your trips to the theatre.

CFT Buddies are friendly, trained volunteers passionate about sharing their love for theatre. Anyone can request a Buddy, but it can be beneficial for:

• • People with physical access needs or those with visual and/or hearing impairments who could use assistance before and during the show

• • Elderly and/or socially isolated individuals

• • Autistic, neurodivergent and/or people with a learning disability

• • Anyone anxious about coming to the Theatre alone

To request a Buddy, you simply need to contact the CFT box office. Let them know what you’d like to see and the date you’d like to attend. The box office team will check availability for the show and reserve two tickets, one for you and one for the Buddy. You only pay for your ticket (our sponsorship covers the Buddy’s ticket cost).

You can find out how your theatre Buddy can assist you by visiting the CFT website HERE.

Why we are delighted to sponsor the Chichester Festival Theatre Buddy Scheme:

This sponsorship reflects our commitment to helping people continue to enjoy life and do the things they love. The Buddy scheme promotes companionship, independence, and joy, all values at the heart of our in-home care services.

Like our Community Help Hubs (developed in association with the Selsey Community Forum), we believe this ongoing partnership with CFT aligns with our dedication to supporting older adults and those needing assistance beyond in-home care.
