DonateAbout Smethwick Church Action Network
Smethwick CAN was formed in July 2014 after local churches initially set up a foodbank in January 2012. Through the foodbank alone, a dedicated team of over 50 volunteers has provided more than 350,000 meals to over 5,000 people in the first 7 years of operations. We now provide Community Cafe, Allotment Project, Food Pantry, Places of Welcome, a Co-Working Space called Smethwick ChangeSpaces, Creative English courses for newly arrived people and support for Social Enterprise and Cooperative start-ups.
