Ilfracombe Rotary Club recognises the importance of encouraging literacy in young children. As well as organising Young Writer's Competitions in all local schools we also support the Summer Reading Challenge run by our local library.
Children who sign up have to read a minimum of 6 books over the summer holidays. It is an excellent way to encourage children to read for pleasure. Over 300 children signed up for the challenge this summer and each child received a Goody Bag which are sponsored by Ilfracombe Rotary.
