For delivery partners

Focus on young people. We'll handle the red tape.

The CAN connects exceptional youth workers with schools across London — and handles the compliance, admin and business development so you don't have to.

The problem

You got into this to work with young people — not to chase paperwork.

40%
of a small provider's time spent on admin — not on delivery
<12 months
most youth sector grants last under a year, creating constant instability
Isolated
most grassroots providers work alone — no shared systems, no peer support

"I spent years doing incredible work and being completely exhausted by everything around it. Joining the network was the first time someone had my back."

What you get

Network membership. Real support.

Stable, predictable income

Vetted school contracts across London. No more feast-and-famine grant cycles — consistent work with the schools that need you.

Less admin, more delivery

Booking systems, proposal templates, invoicing, grant applications — we handle it. You focus on the young people in front of you.

A network that works for you

Cross-referrals, shared resources, overflow opportunities when another member is at capacity, group discounts on insurance and training.

Business support from people who get it

Discounted consultancy from CAN co-founders Cal and Jermaine — practitioners who've built in this sector. Not generic business advice.

"This helped me work out what I actually wanted from my business and how to build towards it. Cal has a way of cutting through the noise."
