One of our core values is to listen deeply to the voice of the community and adjust our offerings to suit. We want to hear from you about what we are doing well and areas that we can improve. Please take a few minutes to answer our short survey.
A Christmas spent in hospital is an incredibly challenging time for families, especially those who are separated from their family or friends. Having first hand experience of Christmas in NICU our team have been providing special occasion gifts not just for Christmas, but other occasions too, since our inception in 2013. This year was no different.
We were super grateful to have two lovely volunteers who used their corporate volunteer days to come along to Tiny Sparks HQ and pack a whopping 325 Christmas gifts! Whilst the largest Neonatal Units are located in Perth some country hospitals do have dedicated bed space to care for baby’s needing some additional care and attention after birth. Our programs ensure that every family, no matter their location receive the support they need.
Our Christmas gifts are generously supported by the small Perth family run business Foote & Flame with stockings generously sewn and donated by the Tiny Sparks Crafty Collective.
Spending a special occasion in hospital is really difficult for families. One of the ways we support families in a Neonatal Unit is by providing a special gift to mark the occasion. On Mother’s Day we were delighted to provide more than 300 gifts to hospitals all over Western Australia.
Enrolment is now open for Term 2 of Developmental Playgroup. We have 2 groups to ensure that the most appropriate activities are offered to you and your child. Each group meets fortnightly during school terms. The groups are split into ‘6 months to walking’ and ‘walking to age 3’. This is based on actual age. If your little one is taking their first steps then we could encourage you to choose the walking to age 3 group. Enrolment can be completed on our website here: https://www.tinysparkswa.org.au/shop/new-enrolment-developmental-playgroup-term-3-2021-9y8c2-xl93l-zwg6g-6dnfz-pr2c9
