Sparkles Ball 2017! This year’s evening fund-raiser was a huge success.<\/p>\n

Over 100 guests enjoyed a night of fantastic food, live music and dancing, auction and raffle. We raised just over \u00a312,000. Incredible!<\/p>\n

A special thank you to two of our our dedicated Sparkles mums, Emily and Nisha, for planning and running the event. Further huge thanks to all those parents who gave up their time to help prior to and during the evening. Lastly thank you for all the generous donations to our raffle and auction. We’re looking forward to the next one!<\/p>\n
