What we do
​
At Sparrows, we know how hard it can be for families to access events.
Our aim is simple - to give children the same opportunities as others, no matter what challenges they face. Since 2018 we have worked with a wide range of venues and providers to make this possible.
​
Our events are exclusive hire - so there’s no need to worry about judgement. Many of our parents are neurodivergent, and most of our children are, so we understand just how overwhelming some places can be. Some children need less sensory input, while others need more stimulation or adaptions - and we always do our very best to make things work. Please don’t ever hesitate to ask. We also always carry ear defenders at our events - so if you need a pair, just let us know.
​
Who our events are for
​
Our sessions are open to all disabilities, although most of our children are neurodivergent or currently going through assessment. Not every venue we use is fully accessible for those with limited mobility, but if you contact us we’ll happily explain which ones are and highlight any possible issues so you know what to expect.

Working Together
We’re always open to exploring new opportunities for our families.
If you’re a company or provider who would like to work with us, please get in touch by email.
Not every activity will be suitable for all of our children, but we’ll always be clear about this—and we’re still happy to signpost families to your sessions when asked.

People with disabilities do not need to be fixed; they need to be accepted for who they are.
