Love Every Drop

13 Jun, 2023by Julie GibsonInformation, advice and guidance

CAN has had a long association with Anglian Water, taking their message out into the community and raising awareness of the importance of a commodity that none of us can afford to take for granted any longer. 

You may ask why we do this, and the answer is simple. We are all about community, and our ethos is about working to achieve the best outcomes for the people who live and work in communities across Norfolk.

We all, without exception, use and depend on the easy availability of water but the stark reality is that we need to use less of it!

06 Jun, 2023by Julie GibsonInformation, advice and guidance

Charities are a force for good and millions regularly donate to help them help others. However, there were issues within the law within in which charities operate, meaning that time and money were spent on administration when it could be used for charitable causes.

For most of us wellbeing is about feeling good about ourselves, getting the most out of our lives and feeling connected to other people. 

For many, this does not come without its challenges and for some, there are hurdles to overcome. As a whole, we are survivors. We somehow manage to prosper in spite of opposition, hardship, and setbacks but for those who need help, there is a network of people who can lead you on your path to recovery.

Imagine a gender equal world.

27 Feb, 2023by Julie GibsonEquality and diversity

A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated.

We can all challenge gender stereotypes, call out discrimination, draw attention to bias, and seek out inclusive practices. We can do this by sharing the passion and excitement that comes from valuing and supporting difference and taking time to reflect on how we can all be part of the solution, not the problem.
