Hello again everyone!

Yet again we’ve been busy giving away another £1000! This time to Sparkle Sheffield. This amazing charity supports children and young people in the city from birth to age 25 with autism spectrum conditions and other social communication difficulties. It exists to support families with autistic children meet the challenges they face, feel less isolated, less frightened and more empowered.

Sparkle regularly organises online and in-person events where children and families can meet others without fear or judgement. Such activities include Ninja Warrior, swimming, cinema trips, residential trips… a whole range of fun activities designed to support individuals, making them feel that they belong, that they have friends and allowing them to develop the strategies and skills they need to succeed in life. Pictured here are some of the children they help on one such trip!

The charity were absolutely delighted to recieve their donation. Their founder and CEO, Liesje Dusauzay, told us that the money would be used to help fund the five day residential camp for children they are planning for this summer.

Thank you yet again for your continued generosity. We simply couldn’t help organisations like Sparkle without your support and giving. We have more donations planned for the coming weeks and will of course keep you updated. In the meantime can we wish you a very happy Easter.

Dan and The Sheffield 1000 Team
