We are deeply saddened and outraged by the recent act of racism that occurred in our community. This hateful behavior does not reflect the values of inclusion, respect, and unity that we strive to uphold.
Racism, in any form, has no place in Ilfracombe. We stand in full solidarity with those who were targeted and with all members of our community who are hurt or fearful as a result of this incident.
We are working alongside the Police to make sure those responsible are held accountable, and we are committed to strengthening our efforts to build a safer, more inclusive community for everyone.
To those who feel marginalized or threatened, know this — you belong here. We see you, we support you, and we are committed to standing with you against hate.
