Things are heating up! 🔥
We're thrilled to share that we have two more partners now stocking ACE Popcorn, making that choice to support autistic people with every sale.
Thank you to Jay and Min at the Dragon and to Joe & Bea at the Rustic Crust Pizzeria for taking that first step in their ACE journey 🍿 ⭐

Off to the Magic Kingdom! 🪄
A very exciting letter recently arrived in Bolsover, with a very special invitation! 💌
LN and TD were over the moon to receive their letter about their upcoming trip to Disneyland for a special weekend break.
We're not jealous... honest! 😉

Induction can be full of surprises - but it's not often our team are the ones surprised! 💕
Our latest cohort of new staff going through induction training presented our training team with a lovely card, which read:
"To all the training staff at AEM. Thank you for the last two weeks in making the training feel very welcoming. Looking forward to joining such a committed team throughout the company."
Our Training Team was incredibly moved by the gesture, and we wish all our latest inductees the best of luck at Poplars, Carlton Road, Hamilton, Old Fire Station and SHS Nottingham.
Good luck to all in your new roles! 💖
