Done and Dusted | Gus strikes Gold!

Sparkle’s ambassador, Gus Burton, was crowned The Intelligent Money British GT4 Champion along with his co-driver, Will Burns, following their win in an exciting finish to the second race in the wet at Oulton Park, Cheshire on 12th September.



SRO, the championship organizers, said “They’ve done it, and with a race to spare. Congratulations to Century Motorsport’s Will Burns and Gus Burton who claimed their third victory of the campaign in Race 2 at Oulton Park. What a season, what a pairing!”


Gus, in paying tribute to the support he’s received, said “my thanks to BMW Motorsport and Century Motorsport for providing such a well-balanced car which gives us, as drivers, the confidence to perform to the highest standard – and my special praise is reserved for my co-driver, Will Burns, who’s done a sterling job all season. All in all, it’s been a phenomenal team effort, winning three and securing six podiums from eight races. And, we still have one more race to go at Donington Park on 17th October 2021.”


“After receiving Rising Star recognition early this year from The British Racing Drivers Club, it is testament to Gus’ application and professionalism that he readily adapted to a new car in Britain’s pre-eminent endurance race championship and won it in his maiden season. If Gus continues on this trajectory, he has a very promising future in racing”, said Century Team boss, Nathan Freke.


Gus, who visited the Sparkle children in 2019, is an avid supporter of Sparkle Malawi and raised over £50k for the charity in previous years.

Spark to Success: How Tailoring Training Is Empowering Women in Malawi

By Talhia Le Berre • June 16, 2026
In the village of Sakata, in Zomba District, Malawi, sixteen women are bent over sewing machines, measuring, cutting, threading, and stitching. What they are creating is more than clothing. They are building futures. This is The Sparkle Foundation's tailoring skills training programme, one of the first initiatives to launch under Spark to Success, a powerful two year partnership with NAMA Women Advancement , a UAE-based organisation dedicated to advancing women's economic participation and building resilient communities worldwide.

Stuart: From Legacy to Lived Experience

By Talhia Le Berre • April 27, 2026
For over ten years, The Payback Time Trust has supported The Sparkle Foundation, a relationship first led by Stuart Barcock’s late father, Peter, alongside his stepmother, Kathy, who were early believers in Sparkle’s vision. While Stuart had long been aware of and connected to Sparkle through this relationship, his involvement deepened significantly after becoming a Trustee in early 2023. Since then, his connection to the charity has been more direct and engaged, shaped through ongoing conversations, updates, and a growing understanding of our work. This year, that connection took on a different form. Stuart travelled to Malawi this past March to experience our work in person. Not as an observer from afar, but as someone stepping directly into the environments, communities, and programmes his family family had supported for so long. This is the story of Stuart's journey with purpose. What I Thought I Knew Having supported The Sparkle Foundation for more than a decade, the decision to visit Malawi felt both natural and necessary. From the perspective of The Payback Time Trust, it was important that one of us saw the work first-hand, to understand not only what is being delivered but how it comes together on the ground. Reports and conversations provide insight, but they inevitably leave gaps. Being there, physically present, offers a different level of clarity . There was also a personal dimension to the trip. The trust itself was founded by my [late] father and stepmother, who had been early supporters of The Sparkle Foundation and a strong believers in [founder] Sarah’s vision. Continuing that connection is something I take seriously, and this visit felt like an extension of that responsibility, as well as a way of honouring what they had helped to start.
