Thank you for joining us at The Spark, a curated collaborative, parent-led space designed to ‘Spark Thinking’ and inspire our youngest hearts and minds to feel good on the inside, do good on the outside.
Stib is guided by our beliefs; that creativity and inspiration are powerful tools for change, that passion is always more important than perfection, and that childhood is a natural force for good. The wellness of our youngest minds really matters & supporting their genuine internal wellbeing is one of our most passionate priorities. If we feel a deep rooted sense of who we are we are more inclined to want to leave a positive mark in our communities, both local and global and that last of all, for all its problems, we live in a beautiful world. We are excited by the positive power of people & collaboration and that we can & should keep trying to make things better.
We are always on the look out for inspiring guest bloggers so if you have something important you’d like to share then please get in touch with by emailing us at hello@stibpencils.com.
