Helping special children shine
Supporting Gwent children with disabilities and developmental difficulties, and their families.
Welcome to Sparkle
Sparkle ensures Gwent children and young people with disabilities and/or developmental difficulties, along with their families, are fully supported and able to participate in valued childhood experiences.
We help children and families access the same opportunities, life experiences, activities and community services as any other child and their family.
Life isn’t easy for some of our children, young people or their families. That’s why we are always fundraising to provide the specialist services, trained staff and state-of-the-art equipment needed to offer the highest quality facilities and support.
Why Sparkle matters
Sparkle helps children and young people with disabilities and developmental difficulties, and their families, get the support they need to enjoy valued childhood experiences.
Sparkle has made a massive difference to my son’s life!
For some of the children and young people we support, everyday experiences can come with additional challenges. Sparkle exists to help make sure those challenges do not mean missing out.
Through specialist services, trained staff, state-of-the-art equipment and high-quality facilities, we help create opportunities for children to participate, develop, experience new things and enjoy childhood.
And because supporting a child also means supporting the people around them, families are at the heart of everything we do.

How we make a difference
“I don’t know what we would do without the Sparkle club. Archie has the best time when he comes to Sparkle, he really does. The Sparkle team really know him, so they understand his little quirks and we just trust them. Autism is just something Archie lives with and he’s the most beautiful boy for it. Sparkle helps him embrace his individuality and makes sure he has the most opportunities he possibly can.”
