Making a positive impact on our community
Ghyston Foundation
We are committed to maximising the impact of the Ghyston Foundation on the local area and the tech community by pledging 10% of our profits to the Ghyston Foundation.
To mark our 10th anniversary, we established The Ghyston Foundation to enhance our support for the local area and tech community. By committing 10% of our profits to the foundation, we can set clear goals and sustain our charitable endeavours. Here are some of our recent initiatives

Our Charities of the Year
The Ghyston team nominate and vote on charities they would like to support each year.
We have worked with brilliant local Bristol charities such as BRACE, WomanKind and Freewheelers EVS.
To increase our positive impact and represent the breadth of the Foundation, we have decided to have two charities of the year, a Mission Partner and a Community Partner.
COMMUNITY PARTNER
This year’s community partner is Gympanzees.
Gympanzees’ mission is to create fully inclusive spaces that improve health outcomes for disabled children and young people by offering regular exercise and therapeutic play while addressing the isolation faced by these children and their families.
MISSION PARTNER
This year’s mission partner is Lifelites.
Lifelites enable children and young people to improve their mental wellbeing, take control of their lives, and be an active part of their world.
