Founded in 1984, Alloa Community Enterprises was first formed as a furniture project. From the beginning, ACE has aimed to create employment and alleviate poverty and protect the environment for the benefit of the local community. ACE has since expanded and has diversified into other areas, such as recycling Glass, paper, cans, textiles and paint, however the furniture reuse project is still very much part of their activities. The project depends on donations of furniture from members of the public in both Stirling and Clackmannanshire. ACE collects beds, suites (with fire labels on), wardrobes, chest of drawers and coffee tables. Some of the furniture is sold in the ACE’s shop in Alloa, Clackmannanshire at cut prices for those on low incomes. The rest of the donations are made up into furniture starter packs for homeless people moving into a new house. This latter activity is run in partnership with Clackmannanshire Council's Housing Department.
