In the UK, 1 child in 30 is born with a serious illness or disability. Every day, 17 babies are either stillborn or die before they are one month old. These figures represent almost unimaginable devastation for the families and children affected – but something can be done. The Sparks Innovation Fund has been set up to fund new, innovative research to prevent unnecessary deaths and improve quality of life for babies and children.
The Sparks Innovation Fund is offering seed-funding to help the best and brightest researchers get their pioneering work off the ground. With only 5% government spending going on child health research in the UK – supporting the Sparks Innovation Fund is the best way to fund this life changing work.
