About us
Who we are
AdvanceNG (formerly Castle Cavendish) is a community anchor organisation. We currently operate various buildings in Radford and Lenton and run our community programme from Haydn Road Community Pavilion in Basford, supported by the Government’s Holiday Activities and Food programme and the Heritage Lottery Fund. Following Nottingham City Council’s agreement, advanceNG will look to transform the former library buildings in Bilborough, Basford and Aspley into new Community Hubs.
With 25 years of experience of community development, property management and urban regeneration, we are driven by a strong set of values and a deep commitment to improving the lives of local people. Our new identity signals a bigger ambition: to support more people and more places across the city through community-led renewal and place-based regeneration.
Our Chief Executive, Dave Brennan, sums it up best- “We’re proud of our history and excited about what comes next!”
Our culture and values
Our Vision:
A better Nottingham where places and spaces thrive, local people reach their full potential, and communities are stronger, better connected and more resilient than ever before.
Our Mission:
We will oversee a programme and property portfolio that will deliver community renewal in an ethical, inclusive and sustainable way.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
At advanceNG we encourage a supportive and inclusive culture for all who need our services, our team members and other stakeholders. We recognise that discrimination and victimisation is unacceptable and that it is in the interests of the organisation and its employees to utilise the skills of the total workforce. People from different backgrounds, cultures and experiences bring value to the organisation and help us to best service our clients and communities.
We are committed to encouraging equity, diversity and inclusion among our team, and eliminating unlawful discrimination. Our aim is for our team to be truly representative of all sections of society and our clients, and for each everyone to feel respected and able to give their best.
