Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Paul Becker (he/him)
Our very first community mission in GG Bristol - and for a fantastic cause.
84% of families with a disabled child can’t access regular leisure and their health and well-being are suffering as a result. Furthermore, 72% of parents suffer from mental health difficulties as a result of isolation.
Gympanzees aim to address this by opening a permanent activity centre that will cater for the needs of all children with disabilities. However, this will not be opening until 2021 so in the mean time they are setting up a Pop Up Activity Centre run over the summer holidays at Emersons Green primary school.
Goodgym were asked to help convert three school classrooms for this purpose which meant
Special mentions to Fi for cycling all the way from South Bristol (and finding the school in spite of GPS instructions), to Alice and Jenny for excellent vacuuming as evidenced by the photos, to Richard for services to coffee machine plumbing and to Dave for overall logistics.
