INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION

A huge part of our aim at Sparks is to educate young people about environmental and social issues, igniting a passion for positive action. Last year over 2,000 young people visited the store to learn about sustainability. Now we need your support to equip even more young people with the knowledge and skills they need to tackle some of the most pressing issues of our time.
