Ace of Clubs relaunched it’s women’s group in September 2017. The group meets every Tuesday morning , from 10:00 – 12:00, and welcomes all women. Recently there has been a pampering session, conversations about women’s health , and bingo sessions.
The group has just made a film about themselves. Please have a look to find out more about the Ace of Clubs women’s group
Ace of Clubs was pleased to host a Christmas Party in honour of our volunteers last night. We took the opportunity to premier the videos made for us by the Ravensbourne second year students, as well as a video about Tesco’s sustainability programme that features Ace of Clubs.
Here is a link to the video about the Ace Bike Club – featuring Sean our resident mechanic. We will post the others next week.

The Ace Team!
As part of our holistic service to local homeless & vulnerable people to see their lives restored and transformed a vital part of our service is our partnership with the DWP
As well as helping people to get off the streets and into appropriate accommodation we seek to encourage and support people through providing accredited education and support onto benefits and then into employment. We partner very closely on a weekly basis with a local DWP Homeless Outreach Adviser called Suzanne. Suzanne is a vital part of our service and an indispensable catalyst in our ability to help people access benefits and then transition into a working life. Someone who has recently greatly benefitted from and seen his life turned around by this aspect of our support work is our member, Dave.
Whilst it can be controversial in the current environment it is vital for the wellbeing of our members that such partnerships exist and stories like this are given a chance to become a reality….
Dave had this to say as we spoke over a cup of tea this morning – ‘I had shut down completely in the run up to becoming homeless and then just utterly closed up when it happened. It was one of the best things that has ever happened to me that I walked into Ace of Clubs on my first day on the streets and met Suzanne. I feel like a whole new me that I forgot existed has sprung into life. I am excited again about my future….’ Here is a short little clip above where Dave tells us in his own words how things have gone….
