Charity

Fundraising is a huge part of what we do at ACE, with our board electing an official charity partner every two years. 

In 2024 we're delighted to be partnering with London's Community Kitchen.

Committed to eradicating hunger London’s Community Kitchen is on a mission to provide equitable access to nutritious food, promote food security, and empower individuals and families to thrive.

 

They take in up to 30 tonnes of surplus food destined for landfill, and give it a second chance; impacting over 15,000 people each week through our various projects.
