ACE is a non-profit, voluntary organisation which gained charitable status in 2002.
ACE was founded in 1990 to provide community based education and training in the borough of Wigan
and Leigh for people with learning disabilities. In 1991, ACE became a company limited by guarantee.
We are managed by a Voluntary Management Group comprising of volunteers from a wide range of
professional backgrounds.
Both our Wigan and Leigh sites offer an extensive
menu of activities and provide a person centred
educational service for over 50 learners across the
borough. Learners work on their own projects, at
their own level and pace without the pressure of
meeting deadlines.
As an education provider ACE is committed to delivering
quality educational programmes and managing the
performance of its service and employees. ACE continues
to encourage staff and volunteers in their personal
development and we are a supporter of the Greater
Manchester Good Employment Charter.
We also work in partnership with local
employers, schools, colleges, universities,
charities, emergency services and other
providers within the voluntary and
community sector.
ACE continues to establish positive relationships with organisations throughout the borough and nationally, including the Boroughwide Community Network, British Institute for
Learning Disabilities (BILD), National Institute for Adult Continuing Education (NIACE), Skills for Care, ASDAN, ICO Register of data controllers, training agencies, the Wigan
healthy living team, and Greater Manchester Centre for Voluntary Organisations (GMCVO).
This ensures that information is disseminated and good working practices are shared.
ACE also works closely with family members and support agencies to identify individual needs for the benefit of the learner.
