Hi everyone!

as a lot of you know, i adore running and am running my first half marathon in bristol this may!

i wanted to make it a meaningful experience for more than just myself so, did a little research and picked a charity that i thought was a wonderful cause! i came across gympanzees mostly by chance and was in awe of the work they’re doing and what they’re trying to achieve. being able to take part in a race and exercise freely is such a privilege, and one that isn’t extended to everyone. creating spaces where differently able young people are free to spend time outdoors and enjoy being active in a supported and accessible way is such an incredible and much needed cause. i’d really appreciate all of your support in raising some money for their amazing work!

In summer 2026 Gympanzees will open it doors to the UKs first ever fully accessible leisure facility for disabled children and young people!

Gympanzees Project Home Appeal is fundraising £8M to build an incredible, world class centre that will be transformational for thousands of families who are currently unable to access mainstream leisure and sport. It will see 200,000 visitors in it's first year of opening and will provide children and young people with a safe place to exercise, have fun and build friendships.

thank you all so much!
