NO AGENCIES PLEASE

There are 1.5 million children and young people with a disability (CYPD) in the UK.  Over three quarters cannot access regular leisure facilities which massively impacts their health and well-being. Furthermore, the impact of living with a disability can have a significant impact on the wider family, with over 72% of parents reporting mental health challenges and over two thirds saying they feel isolated some or all of the time.

Gympanzees’ mission is simple. We want all children and young people living with a disability to have access to high-quality, fully inclusive leisure facilities so that they can enjoy fun, fitness, and friendships and support their families out of isolation.

Sounds simple, but it’s a huge task.  There is nowhere in the UK like this. Anywhere. At all.  But we’re changing that, and we want you to join us!

Since 2018 we’ve been hosting Pop Up’s during easter and summer months, across Bristol, in various special schools which has seen us welcome over 23,500 visitors.  Each one has helped hone and improve our delivery model, and longer-term plans.  These Pop Ups have seen some incredible firsts, including:

· A 6 year old taking their first steps

· A 12 year old sleeping through the night for the first time

· A 3 year old having his first laugh

· An 8 year old rolling over for the first time

Families have travelled from all over the country to enjoy the Pop Ups, some covering 6-hour journeys just for their afternoon of fun!

During COVID we quickly adapted our offer to include a Lending Library which continues to this day, offering nearly 300 items of specialist equipment, free of charge.

In 2023 we purchased a new site to develop into a permanent home which will open in summer 2026.  Redevelopment is underway, and so too is an £8 million campaign to support this extraordinary project.

This will be a game changer for the children and families we support.  Truly transformational and life changing.   Want to be part of it?

Where you’d fit in

HHA is seeking someone passionate and strategic to support our ambitious plans through the creation and execution of a strong long-term trusts and grants strategy for our work in Haiti. As our team and projects continue to grow, this position offers the unique opportunity to be a part of shaping the future of the organisation – and ultimately improve the lives of vulnerable people and communities across the world.

Hope Health Action is a Christian NGO with the mission of empowering local communities to provide life-saving health and disability care for the world’s most vulnerable. We work in Haiti, South Sudan and Uganda, providing sustainable, long-term solutions to the stark health and disability inequalities that exist in these communities.

Haiti was where we first began our work, founding a hospital, which went on to become a 100 bed facility that treated over 35,000 patients every year. Our programmes also include a Wheelchair Distribution Centre, a respite home for children with disabilities, a spinal cord injury rehabilitation centre, and large-scale community health initiatives. We are now one of the leading healthcare providers in northern Haiti, with a national reputation and a wide network of local and international partners. 

Historically, most of our funding has come from UK and European trusts and foundations, and while we are keen to maintain and build on this, we are also keen to maximise the opportunities available to us as a US 501(c)(3) charity and expand our portfolio of US funders. We seek a skilled grant writer to help us navigate and access these opportunities, ensuring our projects receive the support needed to continue transforming lives.

• Writing, managing and reporting for all Haiti focussed grants
• Developing and executing a strategy to maximse trust and grant income for our Haiti based projects
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with exisiting and new funders.
