Read The Spark Jan – March 2018 here!

By Hannah Vickers  Friday Feb 23, 2018

The latest edition of the Spark is in shops, bars and community centres around Bristol. Not had chance to read it yet? You can see it in all its glory right here.

In this edition, you’ll find uplifting stories about some of Bristol’s unsung heroes who have found new ways to tackle old problems.

There’s the restaurateur who decided to house homeless people in converted shipping containers, the photographer fighting for mental health and body positivity and the locals who banded together to save their community library from closing.
