Gympanzees epic 3 Peaks Challenge is back again for 2023!

49 walkers will take on the 3 highest peaks in the UK in just 24 hours, all in support of Gympanzees and thousands of families across Bristol.

There are 66,000 children and young people with disabilities within an hour of Bristol and over 1.1 million in the UK. 77% of them cannot access regular leisure facilities, so they cannot play, exercise, or socialise in the same ways as their peers and are twice as likely as non-disabled children to be lonely. This leaves whole families in social isolation, with 72% of parents reporting coping with mental health issues directly resulting from social isolation. Children living with a disability want more understanding and acceptance, more choice of activities, more motivation and encouragement.

This is where Gympanzees come in...

Our solution is a world-class play, exercise and social facility for children and young people with disabilities right here in Bristol. Our Pop-Up facilities have shown how brilliant it will be and how desperately its needed.

So, we need YOUR HELP to continue supporting our families now through the Pop-Ups and our Lending Library, whilst we move closer towards creating a permanent home for Gympanzees.

Please support these amazing walkers and give generously! Your donation will go a long way towards helping children and young people with disabilities to access fun & fitness and take families out of isolation.
