DELTA DROP-IN
WHAT?
DELTA IS AN OPEN SPACE EVERY WEEKDAY
(term time) for a 2 hour drop-in session with free food and activities, homework support and generally a comfortable space for young people to hang out with their friends and the team.
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.
WHY?
LIFE IN ALL ITS FULLNESS
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.
Jesus said "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full"

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 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.
