About
Gympanzees is an award-winning Bristol-based charity (registration 1189375) founded in 2016 by Stephanie Wheen after discovering the severe lack of accessible physical activity and play options for disabled children. The organisation has won multiple awards for advancing inclusive fitness across the United Kingdom.
What It Does
Gympanzees maintains a free online resource hub of adaptive exercise, wheelchair, seated, and adapted floor workout videos for disabled children. It also runs pop-up inclusive activity days and is raising funds to open the UK's first fully inclusive, purpose-built exercise and play centre near Bristol — designed for the 1 million disabled children in the UK.
Who It Helps
Disabled children and young people with physical, neurodevelopmental, and sensory conditions, along with their families and carers seeking safe, engaging, and inclusive physical activity options.
