First Light is a charity dedicated to supporting people impacted by domestic abuse, sexual violence, and church-related abuse. They offer a range of services across the South West, and England & Wales.
Every year, thousands of people — including family members, friends, colleagues, and children — are affected by sexual violence and domestic abuse. Their services are inclusive, supporting everyone regardless of their gender, sexuality, abilities or cultural background.
They want a society where everyone lives in safety, free from sexual violence, domestic abuse and church-related abuse.
