The charity
Gympanzes
Our Mission
Our mission at Gympanzees is to deliver multiple fully inclusive leisure facilities that are easily accessible for disabled children, young people and their families; meeting exercise, play and social needs.
There are one million disabled children and young people in the UK. 77% of families with a disabled child can’t access regular leisure and their health and well-being are suffering as a result. 72% suffer from mental health difficulties as a result of isolation.
Our Vision
Our vision at Gympanzees is that every disabled child and young person in the UK can enjoy a life filled with exercise, play and friendship. We plan to achieve this by building the first Gympanzees in Bristol
This will be the country’s first, fully inclusive leisure facility which will cater for the play, exercise and social needs of the 60,000 disabled children and young people within an hour of Bristol.
