Ayrshire Communities Education and Sport (ACES) based in woodwynd area of kilwinning, is a grassroots charity working at the heart of our communities to support children, young people, and families facing poverty, inequality, and social exclusion.

We provide safe spaces, positive activities, education, and mentoring to young people who often have very limited opportunities, helping them build confidence, skills, and hope for the future. Our work reduces isolation, improves wellbeing, and strengthens communities—often stepping in where resources are stretched or unavailable.
