Scarborough based charity Sparks Project will launch a new Baby Weigh and Play Scheme in Barrowcliff thanks to £1750 raised at Scarborough Rugby Club's Ladies Day that took place in October.
Sparks already runs a successful Baby Weigh and Parent Support Group in Eastfield in partnership with Eastfield Medical Centre. A member of the Medical Centre team is on hand every week to offer advice that might be needed to the parents, grandparents and carers that come along. One person attending recently referred to it as an absolute lifeline for them.
Michelle Davison-Ward, CEO of Sparks said:
‘Because of the success of the Eastfield Baby Group and knowing our clients in the Barrowcliff community as we do, we felt a similar Baby group in Barrowcliff was much needed’
‘We would like thank Sharon Tait at Scarborough Rugby Union Football Club for nominating Sparks Project as the chosen charity for Ladies Day. Thanks to the money they raised we are able to launch this new group in early November’
The Sparks Project helps people in both the Barrowcliff and Eastfield communities with emotional and practical support to make connections and spark change in their lives.
