CHARITY
Giving back to the local communityCHARITY OF THEYEAR
Each year we select a small local charity to support for an entire year with various fundraising and volunteering activities. We understand how challenging it can be for smaller charities to raise vital funds and generate awareness of their cause which is why we started our Charity of the Year scheme.

AboutGympanzees
Gympanzees mission 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 over 1.5 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. They 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 90,000 disabled children and young people within an hour of Bristol
