First Light is a charity that supports individuals experiencing domestic abuse or sexual violence. It delivers a range of services across Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Swindon and Wiltshire, and across England and Wales. The organization serves people of all ages and genders, including those with disabilities and LGBTQ+ communities, and it operates independently of statutory agencies such as the police. Headquartered in Plymouth in the South West of England, First Light operates as a mid-sized charity within the individual and family services sector. It collaborates with partners to provide trauma-informed support, including services for older adults, and in early 2026 a Gloucestershire ISVA affiliated with the charity was recognized with a Gloucestershire High Sheriff Award for exceptional service.
