Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
The Space Program and Team Refrigeration (as part of Container Team Ltd) have chosen to support Gympanzees as our chosen company charity for 2022-2023.
They are a fantastic, Bristol-based charity.
Gympanzees support people up to age 25 with disabilities and their families in the South West. They currently run at pop-up venues during school holidays and are fundraising to buy a building to give them a permanent home. This will mean that they can provide play, exercise and friendship opportunities to children with disabilities and their families all year round. This is sorely needed.
There are 66,000 children and young people with disabilities living within an hour of Bristol. 77% of them cannot access regular leisure facilities, so they can’t play, exercise, or socialise in the same way as their peers. We all know it’s a good idea to exercise, the inability to exercise has huge consequences for children. Because they never get tired out, they often don’t eat or sleep well. A session at Gympanzees can change all that, making family life so much better as well as improving the strength and muscle tone of the children.
