What we do
Ecosystem recovery

Community benefits
Communities fund improvements in water access, education, health and local livelihoods

How we work
Our mission is to co‑create projects where conservation and livelihoods strengthen each other.
Projects are designed with community-based organisations, including local leaders, women and fishers. Projects are tailored to local context.
Communities own and lead the work. We help navigate the frameworks, finance, and capacity that make it possible.
ACES and partners
We are a UK based charity. We work alongside communities on the ground as well as local and international organisations who share our values.
We work from a place of trust, honesty, and shared goals. We value long term partnerships and space for learning along the way.
Our work is rooted in partnership. We are thankful to past and present partners who have been part of our journey.
The Board
We are proud to have a multidisciplinary board who provide essential expert insight into our activities and strategic thinking.
