Every year in the UK, around 700,000 babies are born. Most are born healthy. Unfortunately 1 in 30 are born with a condition or disability that will affect them for life. Our aim is to change that and help ALL babies to be born healthy and stay healthy. This is a huge challenge, but with your help we can come one step closer to giving every child a healthy start in life.

Sparks is unique because we aren’t a single cause charity. We fund research across the whole spectrum of paediatric medicine. Childhood cancer, childhood arthritis, meningitis, club foot, cerebral palsy, spina bifida and all 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.
