ACE – ‘Action Corn Exchange’ – was formed by a group of residents of St Ives who did not want to see the Corn Exchange sold. After fighting to prevent the Corn Exchange from sale and having ensured its reopening, ACE is committed to ensuring the long-term success and viability of this wonderful building and to safeguarding its future for generations to come as the focus of community activity and as an object of civic pride.

ACE, now transformed from an Action Group into the Friends of the Corn Exchange, has undertaken to promote the use, availability and accessibility of the building for the community through the provision and support of volunteer helpers, and by organising community events to enrich the lives of the people in our market town.

The ACE Committee works alongside the Community Interest Company (CIC) which runs the building.

ACE – Friends of St Ives Corn Exchange was registered as a Charity on November 16th, 2010 – Registered Charity No.: 1132728
