CAN is a bold and creative organisation supporting children, young people and adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health issues on the North Coast of Northern Ireland. We’ve been around for over 25 years, so we like to think we are still young and agile but with a proven track record.

CAN is ALL about people. We support our people to “Be the BEST they can Be” and we do this through holistic services, support and advocacy. In addition to our core delivery (meaningful day opportunities as an alternative to statutory day care), we deliver respite breaks, holidays, fun and friendship programmes, health and well-being projects for adults and children including those incorporating play and nature therapy.

As our population changes and new needs emerge, our services and projects flex and adapt and we continue to grow the organisation to meet these challenges.

Through our activities, we are challenging stereotypes relating to our members capabilities, whilst providing a valued service in the community. In addition, we have positioned ourselves as a critical voice at the heart of policy development, ensuring that politicians and civil servants alike are aware of the impact of their decisions on the ground and holding them to account through membership of key strategic bodies.
