• Are you passionate about where you live and what your area is like?
• Would you like to be involved in making things better?
• Do you find yourself dreaming about ways it could be better?

We have a team of Local Community Action Officers (LCAN’s) to work across the 6 Active Communities areas, who are all locally recruited and connected residents of their areas. In Area 3 we have formed a partnership with Witton Lodge Community Association who will be delivering the network for our North Birmingham Area.

The LCAN’s work within their community area to become a pair of ears and a voice for the residents. They will work closely with their community and develop a Community Network Group which will in turn take a huge role in being an ongoing ‘go to’ group for all community residents. The networks will be made up of residents and collaborative community organizations who want to help make their communities happier and healthier places. They will co deliver elements of the programme locally such as festivals, crowd recruitment, deciding what investments are made to local groups and co-designing local activities

LCANs will support in the delivery of other active community work within their area and support their local residents with what they would like to see change and develop.
