Recently, leading community anchors came together to shape the future of the Birmingham Community Action Network (BCAN). Led by  Witton Lodge Community Association, BCAN was formed to unite Birmingham’s key Voluntary, Community, Faith, and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) organizations. Together, we aim to enhance impact, efficiency, and sustainability by pooling resources and leveraging collective strengths.

BCAN’s mission is clear: to deliver accessible, diverse, and integrated services as a collaborative effort that seeks to cultivate a connected, resilient, and thriving Birmingham. The initiative underscores the importance of community anchors taking collective action to foster an inclusive and prosperous environment where every resident can contribute and thrive.

As BCAN charts its path forward, the commitment to collaboration and community empowerment remains steadfast. By uniting efforts and resources, BCAN strives to create lasting positive change across Birmingham, ensuring that no one is left behind in the journey towards a stronger community.
