Wow. What a celebration! 🎉
The offical opening of Sparkle Roehampton. With over 90 people from across the generations, we ate, we crafted, we sung, we sparkled! ✨
Huge thanks to @WandsworthMayor for cutting the ribbon and the @WandsworthComm3 choir for the fabulous singalong!

Thank you so much for joining us to open @sparkleroehampton!
It was even more special as you opened our very first site @sparkleststeves three years ago!

It was the last day with the school children so of course we had Sparkle Sports Day! Hysterical 🤣

We were so privileged to get a preview of the year 6 production of The Lion King!

Anyone for tennis? 🎾
Ahead of the Wimbledon Championships starting next week, this week our theme was tennis. Turns out we have some very competitive children and Grandfriends!

We had fun painting pebbles this week. Our theme was Lion King, as the children are doing it for their year 6 production, and we had some spontaneous singing!
