We, the undersigned, request that the Hop Skip & Jump Foundation continue to provide provision for children of all ages with special needs to come together at the Grimsby Farm site in Bristol with their families in a safe environment to play together and learn from each other - as there is no other service like this in the South West. 


We would like this provision to not exclude: 

  • Children with complex needs
  • Children requiring specialist medical Care
  • Children with physically disabled parents
  • Children who require full time 1 on 1 support
  • Siblings of children with additional needs
  • Children from low income families
  • Parents who wish to use the centres facilities to play with their child
  • Any parent or child with an immediate need for support.


We would also like the funds that have been raised by the committee from local businesses and organisations for local use to continue to be used for their intended purpose at the Bristol Centre for the benefit of local children.

My family relies on this place for weekend support. Without Hop Skip and Jump we have literally nowhere else to turn.

This place is a lifeline for so many families. My nephew loves going there and it breaks my heart to think it might close. Please keep it running.

Ridiculous. Where are these kids supposed to go now? Bristol needs this facility more than ever.
