New website for ACE Popcorn now live - Autism East Midlands' social enterprise
- Article
April 10, 2026
We're proud to announce that we have recently launched a brand new website for ACE Popcorn, our new social enterprise.
Our new social enterprise aims to provide meaningful employment opportunities for autistic individuals, with production roles that offer flexible, supportive working.
We know that autistic people face many barriers when trying to access employment, and have supported many service users with CVs, interviews and providing guidance for autistic people trying to find work.
We wanted to take this a step further; rather than sourcing jobs, we wanted to create them.
That's how ACE Popcorn was born, which provides training in the step-by-step process of popcorn production and offers individuals a chance to develop their skills in other areas such as sales and marketing.
ACE Popcorn is currently based at our Training & Social Enterprise Centre in Worksop.
