Networks As a member of CAN you have access to all of our networks which are led by Engagement Lead, Hannah Rees. Most of the networks are virtual, unless stated otherwise, and offer a brilliant opportunity to meet other voluntary and community groups, to find out what they do and to share what you do. These networks are a great way for organisations to explore ways to work together and support each other. Attendees generously offer to spread the word about other organisations, have combined forces to help their community members and much more besides. The networks have grown from requests from our members to focus on particular needs. If you think there’s a gap in our networks please let us know so we can work together on this!
