We believe in the power of communities to solve society’s biggest challenges. That’s why, as Somerset’s infrastructure charity, we connect, support and champion local voices to drive change where it matters most.

“We’re very happy to work in collaboration with Spark Somerset; you know the county, you know the structures… You’re the experts in the infrastructure side of things.”
