Community Heroes in the Spotlight

Promoting the invaluable work of local voluntary and community groups

Local charities, big and small make a phenomenal contribution to our area – we estimate around £158 million a year to the local economy, and that’s before we think about the families they help and the lives they change for the better. The impact of their work in our communities is clear to see but they can also face challenges. CAN are here to champion and support them.

We’re moved to share their stories and successes and give them a much deserved shout out across our social media and website.
