Sparkle Appeal

Sparkle is here to support children and young people with a disability or developmental difficulty living in Newport, South Monmouthshire and South Torfaen and their families. We are based at the Serennu Children’s Centre in Newport, South Wales and we provide facilities and activities for recreation, leisure, sport and family engagement. Annually, 1,200 children/young people with severe/complex physical and developmental disabilities attend Serennu. Many are socially isolated and denied their peers’ opportunities to develop key skills - interpersonal, communication and confidence-building. Sparkle’s overriding aim is to provide children, facing the double disadvantage of disability and social isolation, with the tools and confidence to reach their full potential and offer their families support they need to achieve this.
