Southwark Community Action Network Mainpage

Southwark Community Action Networkis a project by Community Southwark aimed at giving advice to local people who want to get more involved with their community, and to increase awareness of the issues affecting them.

The Southwark Community Action Network (Southwark Can) has three core aims to achieve this long-term objective:

  • To support residents to get involved in social action through the network activities, advice appointments, and training
  • To raise awareness of the issues facing Southwark's communities with regular communications, meetings, and events
  • To inform residents of news and events affecting them through our website and resources

On this page, you can find out more information, news, events and consultations happening in Southwark that you can get involved in. You can also book an appointment to our Social Action Advice Surgery for advice on how you can get involved in your community. You can also join to the network below to receive regular updates on what's going on in Southwark and invitations to our quarterly network meetings.
