Ilfracombefun, friendship & fundraising with tangled

The Ilfracombe Tangled Charity are a local group of ladies who meet regularly to socialise and organise fundraising activities in and around the local area. Some of the members have been part of the Tangled group for almost 10 years and with new members joining regularly, they are growing all the time.

The ladies usually meet one evening a month for their official Tangled meeting and this is an opportunity to plan events and discuss which charitable causes to support. They often hold meetings in local pubs and restaurants as they strongly believe in supporting local businesses.

Their motto is Fun, Friendship and Fundraising and all three are equally as important to each member. The group also hold regular social events which are voluntary as most members work full time and have a busy schedule, but these socials are a great way to unwind with friends.

A few members organise a weekend at Butlins each year and this year some will be having a spa day and drinks evening. They organise a Christmas party event and last New Years Eve, many of the ladies held a fundraising evening at The Old Mill. Fundraising activities and a Tangled stall at a psychic fair at the Darnley Hotel. All money raised is used to support local charitable causes such as helping to pay towards a new defibrillator on the high street and supporting local individuals with healthcare costs.

The Chairwoman for 2023 is Alison Baxter and she will be hosting an event on Saturday 17th June at the Carlton Hotel. The cabaret evening begins with a complimentary drink on arrival, lavish buffet and a Neil Diamond tribute act. Tickets can be purchased on the high street at Footworks or at the Darnley Hotel or by calling 07824140062.
