Sparkle Sheffield are raising awareness of autism, and the dangers of sparklers for children with autism around Bonfire night. They are encouraging people to wear something sparkly instead, or take part in a dance, over the bonfire period. Sparkle are asking people around the world to post their photos on social media. Founder of Sparkle, Liesje Dusauzaytold Sheffield Live why she decided to set up the campaign.

Sparkle Sheffield, a group who support parents and carers with autistic children, are celebrating their first year of success. They run parent groups and advice sessions, and get the children involved in a range of activities. For their one year anniversary, the public could see art by the children and their families and get involved in an evening of entertainment.
