Sparks is a department store with a difference. It's a vibrant, positive venue where visitors can explore what a greener, fairer and more creative future looks like. Sparks brings organisations and individuals from across the city together to pilot new ways to better serve our community and address the climate, ecological and cost of living crisis. We'd love you to get involved in this unique project located in the heart of Bristol, in the old M&S building on Broadmead. 

We’re looking to build a team of dedicated volunteers to help make Sparks happen. 

"The positivity and sense of community was radiating in Bristol today. It was lush to be part of the volunteering team, what a warm and friendly bunch!" - Sam, Sparks volunteer

Fashion volunteers

The fashion department is piloting a city centre ‘sustainable fashion hub’, combining fashion retail and fashion services. Fashion volunteers will help on the tills, with the changing rooms and chat to members of the public about how we're doing things differently. 

The fashion department is open Wenesday to Saturday 11am to 6pm, and 11am - 5pm on Sundays.
