About Buddiup
Buddiup was founded Perth, Western Australia in July 2020. The concept was born out of eight years experience facilitating an Integrated Football Program. We saw the immense benefit that the program provided to participants through physical activity and social inclusion, however we also discovered that much more needed to be done to help adolescent males and young men with disability develop healthy lifestyle choices outside of just sport.
Fast forward to 2024, Buddiup now provides programs and services to over 100 athletes and participants in Perth and Geelong, helping young men on their journey to creating a healthier life.
