About Community Action Network (CAN)

CAN is a social justice NGO working within civil society to tackle issues of inequality and social exclusion, and to support marginalised groups and communities.

CAN is dedicated to working with communities to create a more equal, just society that has the well-being of citizens at its heart.

We work with people to assert their rights to participate fully as subjects of their own lives, to have their voices heard and to have their choices respected. We work within a human rights framework, and we seek to build leadership for positive social change and participative democracy.

We strive to create vibrant communities that have the capacity to participate powerfully in society, and to challenge the inequitable structures, policies and practices that prevent them from doing so. We actively seek opportunities to do this work in local, regional, all-island and international contexts.
CAN is a not-for-profit, independent organisation limited by guarantee with charitable status.
