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.
