Uttlesford Community Action Network
Improving the quality of life for people in Uttlesford
Uttlesford Community Action Network is the charity at the heart of our community. Working with VCFSE colleagues, statutory services and volunteers, we deliver a range of services to improve the quality of life for the residents of Uttlesford. Our primary mission is to reduce loneliness and isolation amongst our population and enable people to live independent but supported and connected lives.
