Vision
We want ACNA to be a place where every member of the Black community brings his or her family to grow, learn and develop life enrichment skills and experiences.
History
The African Caribbean National Artistic Centre (ACNA) was established as a community organisation in 1978. It was originally an old school constructed in 1890. The site now consists of three buildings and modest car parking facilities.
The main building houses a healthy living suite, a small function room, a conference hall, a bar, lounge and dining area and office space.
The second building, known as the WINA Training Suite, serves as dedicated training rooms. It currently houses the ICT suite, ACNA creative writing group and the Evergreen Training Project and a number of vacant training rooms for hire.
The third building is a refurbished caretaker’s cottage which is being developed in partnership with the Probation services to be used as a bicycle repair shop to encourage centre users and community members to join the Nottingham fitness scheme.
ACNA is a citywide centre based on Hungerhill Road in St Anns, Nottingham and serves as a focal point for members of the African Caribbean community. It promotes the cultural heritage of Black people, a positive sense of identity, self respect and respect for others and plays a pivotal role between the Statutory and Voluntary organisations by providing information and advice to members of its community.
ACNA encourages educational achievement and emotional development within its community. The organisation develops and delivers appropriate services in response to clearly identified needs of its community members.
ACNA’s Services
ACNA offers a wide range of services to the African Caribbean community and provides a variety of educational activities. These services are delivered within clearly structured departments each of which has a co-coordinator or manager. The Centre Manager is responsible for the overall management and development of the Centre’s services and activities.
