Welcome to The Buddies Tribe
A little village of connection, friendship, play & wellbeing for families across Bury.
Because parenting was never meant to be done alone.
The Buddies Tribe grew from the heart of Empathy Holistics — a passion project created by Emmy King in 2022.
We bring families together through indoor and outdoor wellbeing sessions, social meet-ups and community connection across Walmersley, Bury and surrounding areas.
Come as you are. Find your people. Become part of the Tribe.

More Than A Session — It’s A Community
We’ve connected with 100+ local families over the past four years, creating friendships, confidence and a stronger sense of belonging.
Our sessions bring together:
🌿 Nature
🎨 Play & creativity
💛 Friendship
🧘 Calm & wellbeing
☕ Conversation
👣 Adventure
And because we’re a purpose-driven social enterprise, we reinvest our income, funding and donations back into creating opportunities for local families. Where funding allows, we offer subsidised places.

Why Families Love Buddies
“Every session is so welcoming and calming. I always leave on a Monday driving away with a smile.”
— First Time Mum, 2026
“Emmys sessions have been absolutely amazing all through my maternity leave. I’ve met the most amazing women that I know I’ll continue to be friends with once my maternity leave has ended. Emmys kind and warm nature makes me feel comfortable and relaxed every week and I can’t wait to join more of the sessions as my twins grow older!”
— First Time Mum of Twin Boys, 2026
