Who are we and what do we do?

We are a registered charity that provides recreational facilities and activities, with the object of improving the condition of life for children and young people with additional needs living or schooled in Midlothian, from birth to 18 years.

As a charity and we rely on the support of our trusted, and much appreciated, donors and sponsors so that we can run our term time programme with pre-school play groups, out of school clubs, youth clubs, school holiday clubs, parent/carers support groups and our Youth Council.

Membership of Bright Sparks is £10 per year per child and reduces the price of our classes so get in touch and register today!

If you would like to volunteer to help run our classes or behind the scenes in an administrative function please do also let us know!

YOUR DONATION MAKES SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE

Not wishing to state what is clearly obvious but Bright Sparks is a registered charity. We are fully reliant on grant funding to operate and we are committed to applying those funds raised for us and donated to us to the children and young adults that are placed in our hands for any amount of time. We cannot possibly express how much every pound means to us except to say that your willingness to give us that pound makes us feel special and proud and like what we are doing is worth every enjoyable second.

Thank you so much and please donate here…
