Service Opportunities

ACA UK’s Intergroup has a number of opportunities for ACAs wanting to give service. We are a supportive and friendly community and welcome those interested in joining us. All ACAs are invited to attend our monthly meeting.

Current Vacancies:

The Vice-Chair supports the Chair in maintaining the integrity of ACA UK, particularly ensuring that decisions and actions remain aligned with the 12 Traditions.

In the Chair’s absence, the Vice Chair upholds Tradition 2 by facilitating meetings and ensuring decisions are made through group conscience. The Vice-Chair also helps maintain the fellowship’s autonomy (Tradition 4), while balancing this with cooperation and mutual respect for other ACA groups (Tradition 6).

The role also includes helping to ensure that ACA UK remains financially responsible (Tradition 7) and focused on service (Tradition 12), always upholding the spirit of anonymity and unity. In the absence of the Chair the Vice-Chair opens, facilities and closes the Intergroup meeting.
