Acton Aid is a community organisation made up of local people who work together to benefit the parish of Iron Acton. Funds are raised by holding events such as the annual Fireworks Display and the Proms in the Meadows (see You Tube clip from 2009); and working with other parish organisations at events like the annual May Day Festival and Victorian Evening. Social events include regular talks of interest, a cultural trip abroad and an annual dinner.

Acton aid use their funds for the benefit of the parish in general and individuals in need, and regularly donates to charitable causes and organisations. Members also freely volunteer their time to work to improve the fabric of the parish. A recent example was a working party that cleared the roofs and guttering at the church.

If you would like to join the organisation or know of someone in need within the parish, please contact the Chairman Jon Aries (01454 228037) or Secretary Jason Haselhan (01454 228791).
