‘Life-changing’: UK’s first dedicated play centre for disabled children to open near Bristol
Gympanzees centre, costing about £10m, will feature fully accessible playground, sensory rooms and hoist-enabled soft play
Gympanzees, the UK’s first purpose-built play and leisure centre for disabled children, will open in spring near Bristol after more than a decade of work, including fundraising and design. The centre, costing about £10m, aims to address the lack of inclusive play spaces; Scope research found half of UK playgrounds are not accessible for disabled children.
