Get to Know Us
The ACE Youth Centre, committed to inspiring, empowering, and making a positive impact on the lives of BAME Youth in Enfield, was founded by a dedicated group of volunteers and professionals in partnership with Enfield Council Youth Development Services. Our mission is to establish a safe space for youth aged 8-18 to engage in a diverse range of activities.
At the ACE Youth Centre, young individuals can discover new interests, build self-confidence, and form trusting relationships, all while making positive changes in their lives. Importantly, they have the opportunity to simply have fun!
From participating in Arts & Crafts, Music Production, and Martial Arts to enjoying Multi Sports provided by Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, our members interact with each other and enjoy these activities in state-of-the-art facilities. These include a fully equipped Gym with a Boxing Ring, a Music Studio, and a spacious Sports Hall.

Our Activities
Strike Football Academy
ACE has teamed up with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, providing coaches every Sunday to train the youth in football. This collaboration stems from Spurs' commitment to assisting children and youth from disadvantaged backgrounds, supporting initiatives in the local area. Additionally, ACE has introduced a Football Academy, enabling us to establish our own team for participation in local leagues and friendly matches against other youth clubs.
Self Defence and Martial Arts
ACE prioritizes the safety of our members, both within our facility and in the broader world. Self-defense classes play a crucial role in enhancing children's confidence, especially when they may not have the physical means to protect themselves. To ensure our members can reach their full potential and handle situations requiring self-defense, we bring in two highly trained and qualified instructors. These experts teach our members to stand confidently, speak assertively, listen to their instincts, and, when possible, to walk away from challenging situations. It's part of our commitment to empowering our members with valuable life skills.
Arts and Crafts Session
ACE has a team of talented staff members who organize free and low-cost craft classes. These classes cover a range of projects, including gifts, holiday decorations, cards, totes, flower arrangements, upcycling, and food decorating. No matter what personal interests our members may have, they will find ACE sessions to be engaging and interesting.
Home Economics / Food Sessions
Each week, members are taught fundamental cooking and healthy eating skills during the Home Economics session. These hands-on sessions involve each member actively participating, preparing, and cooking items in a controlled and supervised environment. Members are rewarded not only with essential food skills and healthy eating habits but also with delicious-tasting food that they can enjoy free of charge.
Education Support
We offer classes for our members to enhance essential skills crucial for their development. These encompass IT and PC skills, mentoring programs, CV writing, and careers advice workshops. The goal of these programs is to assist the child in establishing a positive relationship with a role model and preparing for the future. This relationship may aid the child in developing social skills, forming constructive relationships with others, and cultivating positive behaviors and aspirations.
Coffee Mornings and Prevent program
Parents are invited to join us for our coffee mornings and prevent programme meetings. The meetings help to foster relationships that allow us to collaborate and provide the support that parents or their children may need. We conduct group discussions among members to strengthen relationships and facilitate team-building exercises. Additionally, we conduct one-on-one sessions with members to delve deeper when necessary, particularly if we sense potential personal or hidden harm among any member(s).
Organisations We Are Proud to Work With
ACE proudly collaborates with a network of esteemed partner companies whose unwavering support and commitment empower us to create meaningful experiences and opportunities for the youth we serve.
