CARERS WEEK<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

SPARK! have joined together with the Parent and Carer staff network<\/a> <\/span>to put on a series of events to celebrate Carers Week 2021, which runs from June 7th<\/sup> until June 13th<\/sup>. Carers Week is an opportunity to recognise the contributions of carers all over and the help they provide to so many others in need. Looking into it you may come to see where you yourself may be caring for someone in some form, and that is no bad thing!<\/p>\n

DISABILI\u201dTEA\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The SPARK! committee has recently brought in the idea of kickstarting a random coffee service between the network members. The idea is only in the early stages, a perfect time to gauge interest. If you support the idea of having random coffee meetings with other members of SPARK! or general feedback for it, please get in touch.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR NEW COMMITTEE MEMBERS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If you would be interested in joining the committee please email us at Sparksdn@shu.ac.uk<\/span><\/a>.<\/span> We will invite you to the next committee meeting so you can come and see if it is something you would like to involved in further. We want to continue to grow and develop the network but we need more help to do this.<\/p>\n

Best wishes<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
