Harding Evans Solicitors has chosen Sparkle as their Charity of the Year for their Newport Office for the next 12 months.

Sparkle supports children and young people with complex needs within the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board area. It is the official charity of Serennu Children's Centre in Newport, Nevill Hall Children’s Centre in Abergavenny, and Caerphilly Children's Centre.

The guiding principle for Sparkle is to ensure that children and young people with disabilities and/or developmental difficulties, and their families, are fully supported and able to participate in valued childhood experiences, with access to the same range of opportunities, life experiences, activities, and leisure services as any other child and their family.

Harding Evans Solicitors has over 90 employees based at their Newport office, who will be participating in a range of activities to raise vital funds for Sparkle Appeal throughout the year.

Ian Edwards, Fundraising Manager at Sparkle, has said: “Sparkle relies on valuable corporate partnerships to enable our team to provide support and deliver leisure activities for children and young people with complex needs.

“So, we are delighted Harding Evans chose us to be its charity of the year and look forward to a fun and rewarding year with its team.”

“Having been based in the heart of Newport since the 1870s, it is really important to us that we give back to the communities around us” added Ken Thomas, Chairman at Harding Evans, “our team here voted unanimously to support the great work that Sparkle do and we look forward to raising as much money for them as we can over the next 12 months – and having some fun while we do so!”
