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
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.
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.

Thanks to a generous supporter all the money from this event will now be doubled by match-funding!
This event is open to teams of up to 10 people whether they are family friends or colleagues – with NO TRAINING needed!
"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.
