How you can help…..

Trust & Foundations

SPARKS is lucky to benefit from the generous support of a number of Trusts & Foundations every year.  This is a valuable source of income for SPARKS, making it possible for us to fund vital medical research into conditions affecting babies and children.

For further information on making a donation from a trust or foundation and legacy and share giving, please contact Fiona on 020 7799 211 or [email protected].

We need your help to ensure that more babies are given the greatest gift of all, the chance of a healthy start in life.  You can help SPARKS in a number of ways.

Regular Giving

Regular income, no matter what the donation size, is vital to SPARKS. It means that we can plan for the future, secure in the knowledge that we will have the much needed funds to support pioneering medical research. If you would like to set up a Regular Gift to SPARKS, contact Fiona on 020 7799 2111 or [email protected].

Payroll Giving

Payroll Giving is easy to set up and enables you to make tax free donations direct from your salary. As the Government is adding 10% to every donation made through payroll, your £5 pledge can cost you as little as £3 and is worth £5.50 to SPARKS.  If you would like to support SPARKS through your payroll, contact Fiona on 020 7799 2111 or e-mail [email protected].

Your time can make a real difference to SPARKS and to the lives of babies and children.  

Volunteering for SPARKS can also be extremely rewarding for you, whether in gaining valuable experience or simply the satisfaction of helping to raise funds for children’s medical research.

Volunteering at the SPARKS office:

  • assisting with administration
  • carrying out research
  • updating the SPARKS database
  • supporting the PR department
  • working on specific SPARKS projects – such as the London Marathon, our Winter Ball or a corporate partnership

Volunteering at SPARKS events

SPARKS organises a variety of sporting and social events throughout the year.  From golf days to running events, rugby and cricket matches to Summer and Winter Balls, fashion show and polo, all of our events are a lot of fun and are attended by our celebrity supporters.

We are always looking for extra help on these occasions, which tend to take place in the evening or at weekends.

Our volunteers help with

  • manning stands at events such as the London Marathon exhibition, The Baby Show and the PGA European Tour,
  • fundraising activities such as raffles and auctions at Balls and Dinners
  • communicating SPARKS work to potential supporters

Organise a local support group

SPARKS can help you to establish your own local support group to organise fundraising activities in your area.

If you have any spare time we would love to hear from you. We organise regular visits to SPARKS medical projects to give you the opportunity to see first hand the difference your time is making. 

To add your name to our volunteers list, or come to meet us to discuss your involvement, please call 020 7799 2111 or email [email protected]

Legacy Giving

A bequest in your Will is a tax effective way to make a difference to the health of future generations.

Share Giving
Helpful tax incentives make Share Giving an attractive way to support charity. Do you have a small parcel of shares that generate more paperwork                                    than income?
