Charitable Status
With the inception of the Charities Commission, ASME applied for and was granted charitable status in 2008. Besides providing rides for the public every Sunday (weather permitting), ASME has a history of donations and support for selected charitable purposes and to other organisations.
Under the rules for Charities, ASME files various reports on an annual basis which may be viewed at:
