As ACE continues to grow, it is looking to strengthen the Board of Trustees with individuals who can bring specific expertise, strategic insight and a genuine commitment to the charity’s mission.

Last week BA County Cricket Festivals held their first female only cricket festival. The Ace girls had an excellent week and although they didn’t win the overall tournament, there were lots to be proud of. Two of our girls won individuals awards, one for scoring the only hundred in the tournament and the other for a 5 wicket haul! Great work ladies 🏏🖤👏🏽

The ACE academy had the privilege of a visit from one of our ambassadors Manny Lumsden. Manny put the participants through their paces with skill based activities and shared his knowledge of the game. It was clear to see the participants were inspired by Manny’s achievements which we hope will motivate and give them the confidence in the game.
