This year we have chosen to support the charity Gympanzees for our Charity of The Year. They are a charity that focus on enabling every child and young person with a disability to access regular exercise, play and friendship. This allows them to improve their physical and mental health and wellbeing whilst aiming to take their families out of isolation. Throughout 2025 we are aiming to raise £50,000 for Gympanzees by match funding whatever the team raises in their fundraising efforts.
About Gympanzees
Gympanzees were founded in 2016 and since creation they have had a massive impact on the disabled community within Somerset and further afield. They are currently fundraising for ‘Project: Home’ which will be the UK’s first fully accessible, play and social centre for disabled children and young people. It will be able to host 200,000 visits every year and will be open 264 days a year. Their fundraising goal is £8 million to make necessary renovations needed to open the purpose-built facility, they have currently raised £4.6 million, and they are looking to open in June 2026. The site will have sensory rooms, trampolines, physiotherapy, gym, outdoor play and much more to aide in social interaction, play and health benefits of its users.
