Story

We have fallen in love with Gympanzees, a charity based in Bristol that provides accessible fun and fitness for all disabled children and their families. They are raising money for their own place that will be open every day instead of just setting up in schools in the holidays, so we wanted to do our bit to help contribute to this as we know we will certainly be visiting once they have raised all the funds! 

Jessica is very keen to do this so has decided to do a whole weekend of no talking, writing things down, or texting etc. Her brother Jake is completely non verbal and also does not read or write so has no form of communication other than expressions and actions. So she is going to have a little glimpse of what life is like for him. 

Their Dad, Rob is going to do 24 hours silence on the Saturday and their Mum, Abbie is going to do 24 hours silence on the Sunday. (Somebody will need to talk to Jake so hence why we are only do 1 day each!)

We are doing it the 3rd weekend of June as this is this next weekend that Rob is not working any of it! 

Jake will be doing a little something that weekend also so watch this space.
