Why we are More than ACEs

• The more than symbol demonstrates that there is always hope, individuals are more than their ACEs. The work we are doing here in Gloucestershire is more thanraising awareness of ACEs

• The roles we play and difference we can make is more than just the role we play at work

• Think about the other roles you play in your life – parent, carer, friend, sports coach, volunteer.

There is a sticker in your bag. Write down your other role & wear it with pride.

Today is about bringing an ACEs informed approach to everything we do, not just in our work.

OUR VISION

OUR MISSION

is to build communities and organisations that are aware of ACEs, talk about ACEs and take action on ACEs.
