Thanks again for all the good work you do in the town☺️

Today we were granted £250 by the Ilfracombe Carnival committee! We are so grateful to be one of their chosen charities they have supported this year and we are very grateful to everyone who gave any money on carnival night to enable this donation - thank you. This will help to support our work with young people in Ilfracombe.

It was a privilege to join the presentation at The STRAW PATCH Project and to hear more about them and the other charities (including Ilfracombe Community Transport who we have used before to transport young people) that received donations thanks to Ilfracombe Carnival. We live in a fantastic community with lots of people involved in so many wonderful projects, groups and events.

Thanks to your generosity during the Carnival, we've raised funds that we now want to give back to local charities or those needing support!

As a small thank you to our amazing community, we're looking for a local cause that could benefit from this donation.

👉 Know a charity or group doing great work in and around Ilfracombe? Drop their name in the comments or send us a message!

Let’s support those making a difference in the local area♥️
