Gympanzees Receives Generous £43,000 Donation from Bristol Brunel Lions Club
By Jill Dando News
Gympanzees is thrilled to announce a generous donation of £43,000 from the Bristol Brunel Lions Club towards their Project Home Appeal.
This significant contribution brings the charity closer to establishing a permanent, inclusive leisure facility for children and young people with disabilities in the Bristol area.
The Bristol Brunel Lions Club, a dedicated group of volunteers committed to serving the local community, has been actively fundraising for over 40 years.
This generous donation will help towards a state-of-the-art centre that offers accessible play, exercise, and social opportunities for thousands of families.
This specific donation will cover the cost of a Changing Place in the Gympanzee Centre. A Changing Place is a fully accessible toilet and changing facility with equipment like hoists and adult-sized benches, ensuring dignity, safety, and inclusion for people with complex disabilities.
Stephanie Wheen, CEO and Founder of Gympanzees, expressed her gratitude:
"We are incredibly grateful to the Bristol Brunel Lions Club for their generous donation. This support brings us one step closer to realising our vision of a permanent home where disabled children and young people can enjoy the facilities they deserve."
Gympanzees Project Home Appeal aims to raise £8 million to fund the development of this much-needed facility.
With the support of organisations like the Bristol Brunel Lions Club, the charity is making significant progress towards its goal.
