Sparks

Sparks, the children’s medical research charity, is dedicated to funding research into conditions affecting mothers-to-be, babies and children. Our vision is a world where every baby is born healthy and stays healthy.

Since 1991, Sparks has committed over £20 million into pioneering research projects across a wide spectrum of medical conditions including childhood cancers, cerebral palsy, premature birth and spina bifida.

The research we fund is across the whole of the UK with many of our medical breakthroughs having a global impact. We only fund research that is intended to have a practical and positive impact on the lives of babies and children.

We’ve funded research all across the UK, from Scotland to Southampton, and our results are making a real difference to families in your area. Our research into improved treatments is helping families cope better with their child’s condition and our breakthroughs are leading to early diagnosis of serious illnesses and even preventing some conditions from developing in the first place.
