Get involved
Take part in CHILD SPARKS.
CHILD SPARKS grows through parents, carers and supporters taking part. Join a workshop, share something you have learned or help with an activity. You do not need to be an expert: your experience of supporting your own child may be useful to another parent.
Join in as a family
Take part in workshops, the weekly Book Club and regional activities. Meet other parents, share your experiences and learn from what has helped other families. Children and young people can enjoy activities and build connections too.

Help welcome families, support an activity or lend a hand with administration, fundraising or community outreach. Tell us about your interests, skills and availability through Sparks Connect so we can discuss a suitable role. Recruitment requirements may include references and training. DBS checks are required for roles where this is appropriate, taking account of the nature of the role and the activities involved. Where a DBS check is required, it must be completed before you begin that role.
