Our Mission

Our mission at Gympanzees is to enable every child and young person with a disability to access regular play, exercise and friendship, to improve their physical and mental health and well-being, and to take their families out of isolation.

See Our Impact

Why We Help

There are 90,000 young people with disabilities within an hour of Bristol and over 1.5 million in the UK.

77% of children with disabilities cannot access regular leisure facilities so can’t play, exercise or socialise in the same ways as their peers.

"You've opened up a world in which we can just exist exactly how we need to."

Our Appeal

Help us make this building a home

We are fundraising to open the UK's first fully accessible exercise, play, and social centre for disabled children and young people.

We have already fundraised to secure a building and, now we need to raise £8 million to make the necessary renovations to open a purpose-built facility by June 2026.

Gympanzees Christmas Jumper Day

Date: Wednesday 4th December 2024
Location: Anywhere

This holiday season, we’re trading fashion for compassion! Wear the quirkiest Christmas jumper you can find and donate £2.50, £5 or £10 to Gympanzees, so we can continue providing a world of fun and fitness for disabled children and young adults.

Post a photo of you wearing your Christmas jumper with a tag #GympanzeesChristmasJumper. Include our Just Giving page link for your friends to support and join in on the fun.

Why not dress up as team with your work or with a group of friends? Bring a team together to bond, support each other and make fun memories as part of this festive madness!
