Donations
The Spark Foundation is a small charity with a big heart. But we can only give out what we get in. Less than 5% of our income is spent on administration. The other 95% is given out in grants to young people. These grants make a real difference.
Facing the challenges of life without parents to support you is tough. We regularly receive applications totalling three times the amount we have to spend.
With your donation we can help more vulnerable young people.
- £100 can buy sports equipment to enable a Care Leaver to pursue a hobby
- £250 will enable a struggling Care Leaver to buy a fridge/freezer or a washing machine, or a cot and equipment for a new baby
- £350 can buy a laptop, bicycle, or a set of tools for someone going into a building trade
- £600 can buy a set of 10 driving lessons which they need for a job
- A legacy in your will of £5,000 would enable us to help another 12 Care Leavers in a year
- An annual donation of £10,000 would enable us to help 25 Care Leavers into independent life every year
We welcome donations whether these are one-off or regular. No amount is too small.
