Ascension Eagles Cheerleaders began in November 1996 as an outreach of Ascension Church Centre, Custom House, Newham, London. Rev. Jonathan Brice and his wife Shara, initially started the program as a way to keep youth off the streets & engaged in an activity that promotes both fitness & social interaction.

Over the past decade, AEC has been recognized as 1 of the UK’s most successful youth programs, as well as Britain’s best all-round cheer program. AEC aims to transform and inspire young people to reach their full potential, while providing the highest level of training, coaching and community development work. AEC makes a difference in the lives of young people so they can make a difference to others in their community and in the world.
