ALSAGER COMMUNITY SUPPORT
ACS provides a free and confidential drop-in service where volunteers offer help, support and information to local people in any kind of need. We operate a school uniform reuse scheme, lost property service, jobs board, as well as befriending, driving and shopping help for vulnerable and isolated people.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity held £106,593 in total reserves at year-end, with £34,563 classified as unrestricted. The trustees maintain a policy of holding three months' outgoings in reserve, and the unrestricted balance appears to meet this target. However, the filing notes concerns regarding future funding sustainability after the current five-year grant period ends in December 2028.
