Volunteer with Gympanzees and help create an unforgettable summer for families
Gympanzees
Welcome families, support activities and help create an inclusive space for disabled children.
This August, Gympanzees is transforming Ilminster Avenue Nursery into a vibrant, fully accessible Summer Pop Up for disabled children and young adults. With nine sensory rooms, a community café and exciting activities, we'll be creating a space where families can relax, play and make lasting memories together. We're looking for friendly, enthusiastic volunteers to help bring the Pop Up to life. Whether you're welcoming families, supporting in the café or helping visitors find their way around, you'll play an important role in making every visit a positive experience.
