Charity: Community Action Network (CAN)
We're Community Action Network (CAN), a charity that provides professional and practical support to the voluntary sector in Dorset. Community Action Network (CAN) was formed in 2019 from the merger of Poole Council for Voluntary Service (CVS) and Bournemouth CVS, these charities had a rich history going back over 50 years, and form the foundations of our work today. We want to ensure local communities are strong, healthy, diverse and thriving. We work in partnership to make that happen by: -Supporting the voluntary sector by providing expertise, support, development opportunities and training to help them thrive. -Enabling volunteering and helping everyone play an active role in their community; -Making everyone’s voice heard by facilitating great local networking and communication.
