We open our doors next year!

The UK's first fully inclusive exercise, play and leisure centre

Go Bananas for Gympanzees!

29th September - 6th November

We’re closer than we’ve ever been. But close doesn’t open the doors.

We’ve already raised £8.9 million. From 29th September to 3rd of November, we have five weeks to raise £350,000 and help open a permanent place where disabled children and young people can play, move and belong, in Spring 2027.

Every pound brings opening day closer. Join us this October and help us open our doors.

Imagine a place where everyone can join in.

The total cost of the campaign:

£11,500,000

What’s been raised so far:

£8,900,000

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.
