In our future Gympanzees Centre, a young person might take their first turn on the Matrix Upright Cycle; a stable, accessible piece of kit that makes movement feel safe and achievable. With gentle support, they adjust the seat, grip the handles and begin to pedal. What starts slowly soon becomes a steady rhythm, building strength, stamina and confidence with every rotation.

For many disabled children and young people, opportunities like this aren’t always available elsewhere. The Upright Cycle could offer freedom, pride and joyful “exercise in disguise”, helping them move, play and belong in our future centre.

When you donate to Gympanzees, through this website or in other ways, you are supporting us to ensure that every disabled child and young person in the UK can enjoy a life filled with exercise, play and friendship.

Our campaigns will highlight specific areas of Gympanzees work, but these are just some of the many ways Gympanzees supports disabled children and young people. Donations will be treated as unrestricted and will be used to fund our work to deliver multiple fully inclusive leisure facilities that are easily accessible for disabled children, young people and their families, cover our Lending Library costs, and help to fund Gympanzees general support and running costs.
