Ilfracombe Rotary Club is the sponsor club to Ilfracombe Academy Interact Club and we act as mentors and guides as they carry out their projects. Interact clubs bring together young people ages 12-18 to have fun while developing leadership skills. They organize at least two projects every year, one that helps their school or community and one that promotes international understanding. Last year their local project was having fundraising projects to enable bursaries for people attending Calvert Trust. Their international project was the Rotary Shoebox Appeal and 25 boxes were filled and sent onto the appeal organisers for dispatch to where they were needed. The Club has been active in its current format for the past 2 years and is slowly gaining popularity within the school community.
This year they participated in the Rotary Beach Clean Day at Raporee Beach Ilfracombe
