We've got a building, and now you can help us make it a home!
A world of fun & fitness for all disabled children
Our Mission
To create fully inclusive spaces that improve health outcomes for disabled children and young people by offering regular exercise and therapeutic play while addressing the isolation faced by these children and their families.
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.
