Medical research charity promoting health for infants, children and also expectant mothers - in the UK, including Exeter
A charity dedicated to funding pioneering paediatric research, Sparks has a single aim: A happy and healthy future for every child. Nicole Rolfe is based in Exeter as the South West regional fundraiser.
For expectant parents the main concern isn't whether they have a boy or girl, but a healthy baby. Every year in the UK 700,000 babies are born. Most are born healthy, but sadly 1 in 30 will be born with a condition or disability which can affect them for life.
Sparks is a unique children's charity, with representation in Exeter and elsewhere, funding medical research into the prevention, treatment and cure for conditions and illnesses affecting children, babies and expectant mothers.
Childhood cancer, childhood arthritis, meningitis, club foot, cerebral palsy, spina bifida and the risks associated with premature birth are just a few of the areas where Sparks funded doctors and scientists are leading the race to save lives.
