Section D Achievements and performance
The 2023–24 financial year represents a significant period of growth and investment for ACE. This was the year the charity established its permanent building on Bridge Street, enabling long-term expansion of services including the Community Lounge, Youth Centre, Community Fridge & Pantry, Clothing & Baby Bank, and a wide range of wellbeing and community-support activities.
As expected for a development year, expenditure significantly increased , driven by renovation costs, essential building works, health and safety compliance, and the purchase of fixtures, fittings, and operational equipment. These investments were planned, approved by Trustees, and considered essential to secure ACE’s long-term sustainability and ability to meet rising community needs.
