# AIBŌ

> AIBŌ matches older adults (75+) with vetted local Buddies (18–35) for real friendship, conversation, and light practical help — not care. DBS-checked, insured, and human.

AIBŌ (Japanese for "partner", pronounced eye-bo) is a UK-based intergenerational companionship service. Families sign up an older loved one; we match them with a local Buddy who shares their interests. The first meet-and-greet is free. Buddies visit regularly, so a real friendship can grow.
