Harry

My family have been members of My Big Buddy for about 3 years and have has 4 different Buddies. My Husband and I have 2 boys and each Buddy has had different strengths – we had Ed who was a fantastic cook, Jamie who never tired of endless ball games, Richard who was great with the homework and Chris who taught the boys to play golf. I feel like the boys have really benefitted from the change in skills and personalities.

Heidi

I’ve been lucky enough to work with My Big Buddy for 8 years now and it’s truly been amazing. From a technical stand point it allowed me to pursue my acting career knowing that I had a fun, reliable side job which didn’t suck my soul (the opposite in fact).

Frequently Asked Questions

We are happy for you to email, WhapApp or call if you are unsure about anything, but we have some answers here to the most commonly asked questions.

Are buddies employed or self employed?

Buddies generally work more than one job and satisfy HMRC’s description of a self employed contractor. They are responsible for paying their own tax and NI – this is a positive for a client also as they do not need to employ the Buddy with all that that entails.
