✨ Sparkle at the IHEEM Awards Dinner ✨

Earlier this month, Sparkle had the honour of attending The Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Estate Management - IHEEM Awards Dinner at the Celtic Manor Resort. It was a fantastic evening celebrating excellence, innovation, and leadership in healthcare engineering and facilities management.

Our Fundraising Support Officer, Tracey Holloway, was given the opportunity to share Sparkle’s story - highlighting the impact of our work and the difference our support makes every day 💙

The event was attended by special guest Jonathan Davies CBE, former Welsh rugby union international and British & Irish Lion. The evening was hosted by Adrian Davies, former Welsh international squash player, who brought great energy to the event.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of guests, an amazing £2,080 was raised through the raffle - with attendees donating to enter for a chance to win two personalised, signed rugby shirts from Jonathan Davies 🏉

We would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone involved for their support, generosity, and for making the evening so memorable. Together, we continue to make a difference ✨

💜Volunteers' Week💜

Throughout this week, we'll be celebrating some of the incredible people who give their time, skills and kindness to support children, young people and families across Sparkle.

Volunteers play a vital role in helping us create opportunities, experiences and support for the families we work with every day.

Meg's story is a wonderful example of the impact volunteering can have.

We are always keen to hear from anyone interested in volunteering across Sparkle. If you'd like to make a difference, gain experience, meet new people and become part of our community, we'd love you to get in touch 💜

✨ May Club Round-Up ✨

What a month it’s been 💜

We’ve had everything from science experiments and indoor games to basketball, outdoor fun and plenty of halt-term holiday fun!

Across our clubs, there’s been laughter, teamwork, new friendships and so many moments of confidence shining through.

Thank you to everyone who helps make Sparkle clubs such welcoming, happy spaces for our children and young people ✨

Today, we’re celebrating a lovely milestone at Sparkle. 💜

Carla Hopkins, part of our Senior Leadership Team, has officially been part of the Sparkle family for 15 years!

If you know Carla, you’ll know there’s truly only one of her. She brings so much warmth, laughter and personality to Sparkle, and has a way of making people smile wherever she goes. She’s fun, full of energy, endlessly kind, and someone who cares deeply about both the people around her and the organisation itself ☺️

"Carla has been part of Sparkle right from the very beginning, working behind the scenes and helping keep everything on track. A lot of what she does isn’t always visible day to day, but it shows in everything the charity achieves and the difference it makes. Carla is a great colleague and a good friend, someone who is always there when you need her and who brings a bit of calm (and usually a bit of humour) to even the busiest days. Sparkle would not be what it is today without Carla, and she is deeply appreciated by all who have the privilege of working alongside her." Sara Filer, Senior Leadership Team.

"Carla is a longstanding and loyal member of the Sparkle team. She has been there from the very beginning and has seen the charity grow from very small beginnings to what it is today. She has contributed her time, energy, expertise and her goodwill to the many and varied activities that have taken place, in and out of hours, over the past 15 years, and she is a key member of Sparkles senior leadership team today. Carla is highly valued by the board of trustees who recognise all that she does for the benefit of Sparkle and all the children, young people and families that it serves. I really enjoy working with Carla and hope to do so for many years yet to come." Janet Kelly, Sparkle Chair of Trustees.

Thank you, Carla, for 15 amazing years of dedication, kindness, positivity and heart. We’re so lucky to have you as part of Sparkle. ✨💜

Everyone loves a full circle moment 💜

Growing up, Meg attended Serennu Children’s Centre as a child. Years later, wanting to give back to a place that had supported her so much, she returned as a Sparkle volunteer.

What started as temporary volunteer hours became seven incredible years supporting families through MediCinema, building friendships, growing in confidence and making a lasting difference to children and young people along the way.

As Meg now begins an exciting new chapter following the completion of her degree in Accountancy and Finance and securing a full-time role, we wanted to celebrate her journey and say a huge thank you for everything she has given to Sparkle and our families.

‘It has been a real privilege getting to know Meg over the years. Her journey, from being supported by Serennu as a child to giving back so selflessly over the last seven years, has been truly inspiring. We wish Megan all the very best for her exciting next chapter, we are all so proud of her, and she will always be part of our Sparkle MediCinema family.’ – Sara Filer, Operational Lead, Sparkle Leisure Services
