ICE Ilfracombe

ICE Ilfracombe is supported by 

each church in ilfracombe. 

Christians regularly support the work of 

ice Ilfracombe in prayer and other practical ways. We are so thankful for each person who has contributed to the ice story in ilfracombe.

Our Story

ICE Ilfracombe became a charity in 2018, and has become an important part of the Ilfracombe community.


We work with the most dedicated people to help support the headteacher and staff at The Ilfracombe Academy by funding a youth worker based at the school. In 2021 we also started a new initiative DELTA, a youth drop in space on the High Street.


We believe every young person in Ilfracombe has value. We want to see them flourish achieving life in all its fullness. 


ICE Ilfracombe is a registered charity and depends on the generosity of others to function. Contact us today to learn more about how you can get involved and become a part of the ICE Ilfracombe story by donating or volunteering.
