Our Mission
At Little Sparks we believe every child should have a positive experience during their visit to hospital.
At a young age, children are likely to face extreme anxiety during their visit to hospital, experiencing fear of the clinical environment, unfamiliar people and the fear of pain itself. We want to revolutionise the way children experience hospitals, empowering them and giving them the opportunity to have fun.
