Westspring IT is hoping to raise funds to help support a disabled children’s charity and has pledged to raise £50,000 towards building a new bespoke facility for disabled youth to have their own space.
Gympanzees provides support and leisure experience for young people and children with disabilities who often cannot access sport or activities easily, helping them access regular exercise, play, and friendship.
The charity’s work boosts mental and physical health and wellbeing while taking families out of isolation and into supportive communities.
Jason Small, Co-founder of Westspring IT commented: “We believe Gympanzees' mission aligns perfectly with our values, and we are supporting them in their work building a one-of-a-kind centre in the UK.”
The WestSpring team will help support Gympanzees’ ‘Project: Home’ to create the UK’s first fully accessible play and social care centre for disabled youth, costing £8m with £4.6m already raised so far.
Throughout 2025, WestSpring IT aims to raise £50,000 by match funding the money their team fundraises, through team events or individual challenges.
An upcoming ‘sponsor a golf day’ event is planned as the first fundraiser.
Jenny Davies, Fundraising Officer at Gympanzees (pictured) said: “As headline sponsor for our upcoming annual charity golf day at Thornbury Golf Club, Westfield is already supporting us to change the lives of disabled children and young people, and the company’s fundraising efforts will have a huge impact on our Project Home Appeal.”
Alongside the golfing event, WestSpring plan to lead a variety of events and fundraising opportunities to help them reach their target, includes a ‘bake off event’, at least one football tournament and quiz nights.
The charity hopes to open the centre in June 2026.
