The map on this page is to help people find place-based CANs. A companion page, map and listing, [[CAN support map]] is to help people find theme-based CANs, and support organisations or initiatives. Both CAN maps and CAN support maps are accompanied by related video and news pages.\n\nFor an introduction to these experimental and collaborative CAN maps see [[Citizen Action Networks near you]].\n\n{{Places map|Citizen Action Networks near you/dataEngland, Home nations CAN/data, South West England CAN/data}}\n\n== Autonomy of CANs and self organising ==\n\nThe areas of these more localised maps is suggested by the current data. The current display is not intended to suggest any existing, planned or preferred network or networks of CANs. CANs have autonomy and may choose to self organise into networks based on areas of their own choosing, for example around bioregions. It is expected that the areas displayed by these more localised maps will evolve over time as more data becomes available.\n\n== Add Citizen Action Network ==\n\n''to follow''\n\n{{CANwiki footer}}\n\n'''Notes and References'''\n\n* What is a CAN?
