Grandparents SPARK (Supporting Positive Action for Resilient Kidz) empowers grandparents as primary caregivers by equipping them with practical skills, support networks, and resources to navigate financial, health, and emotional challenges. Through interactive workshops, SPARK strengthens families and builds resilience for both caregivers and children.

“A grandparent’s influence is lasting; their love, wisdom, and guidance shape generations to come.”

Our approach is discussion-based, drawing on the wisdom and experience of grandparents to foster connection and shared learning. By creating a supportive space for open dialogue, the programme strengthens caregiving skills, builds confidence, and encourages collaborative problem-solving to improve daily life.

Key components of this intervention include:
