Charity Support

2026 Charity

The Little Green Sock Project

We are proud to give back to the community, and each year AEC staff choose a specific charity to which the monies generated from our fundraising activities will be donated.

In 2026, AEC are supporting the Little Green Sock Project which is a Greater Manchester based charity that supports families in need by providing essential clothing, equipment, and safety items for children aged 0–16. Working with health professionals, schools, and community organisations, the charity redistributes donated items to help reduce child poverty and support children’s wellbeing.

Last Year’s Support (2025)

In 2025 AEC supported local charity Manchester Women’s Aid, part of the Pankhurst Trust with a donation of £2,000.  The charity exists to offer clients the confidential help that they need to provide a holistic safety first approach where the prospect of life free from abuse is possible.  A staggering two women are killed by a partner or ex partner every week in England and Wales.
