Our youth drop in space and cafe opens Monday to Thursday 3.30-5.30pm and Friday 3.00-5.00pm during term time, at 71 High Street, Ilfracombe (opposite the Co-op).
DELTA is for secondary school aged young people. Our activities and food are provided at no cost to them.
Delta aims to complement other provision for young people in Ilfracombe and be a space where young people can feel secure and valued and establish supportive relationships with the team and other young people.
Delta is a space where young people can:
* Increase their sense of being part of the Ilfracombe community.
* Explore who they have been created to be.
*Have conversations about what is significant in their lives and what will be significant in their future.
How we be
Our young people have so many fantastic qualities. They are creative, passionate, resilient, and so much more and we want to continue to invest in them and support them in reaching their full potential.
Delta is an open space every weekday (term time) for a 2 hour drop-in session with activities available, homework support and generally a comfortable space for young people to hang out with their friends and the team.
71 High Street, EX34 9NG.
On the corner of Marlborough Road and Church Street.
Karly is our DELTA manager. She grew up in Ilfracombe and began her youth work journey as a young leader at the Baptist church youth group and as a peer mentor in what was then Ilfracombe College. Karly trained with SWYM (South West Youth Ministries) whilst working for the Teign Valley Youth Project in South Devon. After training, Karly worked for a church in Bristol. Returning to Ilfracombe, Karly was a teaching assistant at the Academy.
Karly is mum to two young children and is a vibrant and enthusiastic leader of the DELTA team. She is a natural leader and full of enthusiasm for delivering good quality youth work. She says, 'I believe God loves our young people, and that he made them uniquely and with a purpose. They have amazing gifts and passions, and I believe that their lives are so valuable. It is my desire and passion to see young people empowered to live life to the full by realising their worth and flourishing by exploring their gifts and passions.'

DELTA has adopted the values of the Ilfracombe Academy: Hope, Kindness, Courage, Integrity, Trust, Respect and Responsibility.
DELTA works because of the amazing team of volunteer supervisors and helpers who are committed to spending time at the drop in space. Every member of the team brings something unique - humour, creativity, enthusiasm and dedication and so much more.
All the workers and volunteers seek to live out our DELTA values as we model them to each other. Every volunteer wants to see the young people in our town flourish.
