Sparkles Big Step Forward 2016 · 10 July 2016

Sparkles is a small, parent-led charity providing speech and language, physio and occupational therapy to pre-school children with Down’s syndrome living in and around Bucks. We have helped over 100 children make themselves heard in the world, ease their path into childhood and ultimately school.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page

After feeling alone and being let down by our local NHS team who did not give Olivia the early input she desperately  needed we turned to Sparkles.

Being part of Sparkles is to be part of something incredibly rewarding and satisfying. Not only is our child getting the specialist therapy that only comes with sound experience of Down’s syndrome, but as a parent we get tremendous support and guidance. They provide speech, physical and occupational therapy with amazing and dedicated therapists who will be with Olivia for years. 

We have connected and made friends with some wonderful people who believe, as we do, that our children have so much potential.

Because of their guidance Olivia is learning to sign, walk feed and look after herself and they help us to understand how she learns so we can better help her at home. 

As a parent funded charity we rely on donations to keep this charity alive. Please donate and any contributions is valued. Thank you for visiting our page and supporting our baby girl and all the other families this charity benefits.
