Partnering With Us
Together, we can create a world where disabled children and young people have the same opportunities for fitness, fun, and friendship as their peers. Partnering with Gympanzees is more than charity; it’s about making a lasting difference for families across the South West and beyond, while uniting and inspiring your whole workforce.
Working Parent-Carers
Did you know?
11% of working parents have a disabled child
Half of them leave their jobs as a result
Of those who stay, three-quarters turn down promotions or take a step back*
This isn’t just a personal issue, it’s a workplace one.
By recognising and supporting these parents, we can create more inclusive, compassionate, and flexible workplaces.
At Gympanzees, we’re working to make that support a reality. Partnering with us is one way to show that your organisation truly understands the challenges some families face and wants to be part of the solution.
