Welcome to First Spark

First Spark helps vulnerable adults lead fulfilling lives by harnessing the support of volunteers from their own community. We are currently running two projects. One is a supported holidays scheme for people with learning disabilities called Yellow Submarine Holidays. The other is a home visit fruit and vegetable project for elderly people in West Oxfordshire.

For organisations seeking helpIf you are interested in learning more about our projects, then please visit our activities section.

For individuals/organisations offering helpIf you are a potential volunteer with either time, expertise or funds and want to learn how you can assist visit our help area.

First Spark is now based in West Oxfordshire and currently only supports projects in the UK. Between 2007 and 2008 we were working in Nepal.
