Refreshed Guidance for Local Councils.

The Charity Commission has published refreshed guidance for local councils.

Introducing CAN's New Rural Housing Enabler

In an effort to uplift rural areas and assist local communities, the government has initiated the Unleashing Rural Opportunity Strategy. As a part of this strategy, a network of Rural Housing Enablers (RHEs) have been appointed across England where a need to support the provision of rural homes through Rural Exception Sites. The Rural Housing Enablers will be in post until March 2025 to address the critical need for affordable housing in rural England.

Referrers' Network Meetings

As part of our advocacy efforts for the Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) Sector in 2022 we identified a need for referrers to voice their concerns and share professional insights.  To address this gap, we initiated Referrers' Network Meetings quarterly in Breckland and North Norfolk.

Net Zero design guidance published to mark the start of Village Halls Week 2024

Volunteers managing England’s 10,000+ rural community halls are being encouraged to ‘go green’ as part of the nationwide campaign which begins with a focus on what can be done to improve the energy efficiency of their buildings.

Our Wishlist

The Power of Appeal Letters

In the age of digital communication, the humble appeal letter stands as a timeless and powerful tool for charitable organisations seeking support from their local communities.

Pay it Forward - A story of kindness and generosity.

In a plea for assistance, reaching out for any support, whether it be in the form of free carpet cut-offs or any other kind of help, our call was answered by an extraordinary act of kindness. S&L Carpets, a local business founded by Lee and Simon stepped forward, offering their assistance, and affirmed that they would help in any way they can.
