Thank you to the Garfield Weston Foundation who have supported Spark charity with help towards our operating costs over 2025! We are entirely dependent on raising the funds to keep all of our activities and services going. We are a small independent charity doing our best for families and communities. Thanks to Garfield Weston for the help with our costs! #garfieldwestonfoundation #sparkburntwood #charity #funding #grantfunding #thankyouforyoursupport

It's lovely to read this feedback from Midday Mayhem young parents and carers!

Beautiful time at our pamper evening and we are looking forward to a busy Christmas season! Newsletter includes updates with: Chase Terrace Academy Lichfield District Council Staffordshire Council of Voluntary Youth Services Burntwood Town Council

We managed to surprise Andy tonight at the Staffordshire Council of Voluntary Youth Services AGM as we knew he'd be getting a certificate and recognition for his amazing volunteering with Spark in the Les Simmons Impact Awards! Well done Andy and it's a good job we managed to get you there under false pretences! Nicky, Aum and Esther were also representing Spark, with Rhiannon our lovely SCVYS development officer. If you don't know about SCVYS they help groups and charities like ours all over Staffordshire like Scouts, youth groups, volunteers etc. They are brilliant and do a lot for young people throughout the county. Always great to hear what is going on and see the impact volunteering has!

New November News is out! Who can you spot!? Lots and lots of photos this week of some of the wonderful things that have been happening! Keon Homes Limited
