"To challenge attitudes towards sectarianism and racism and to support resolution and mediation at the local community level"

Welcome to the CAN Peace Partnership’s web pages.

The Peace III Programme is an opportunity for communities in the Carrickfergus, Antrim and Newtownabbey borough areas to build positive relations, address challenges and develop a confident and peaceful future, unhindered by sectarianism or racism.

Sam Crowe, Chair of the CAN Peace III Partnership said “the Partnership has been working hard over the last number of months to process applications to its small grants programme. We have been pleased with the level of interest in Peace and Reconciliation work across the cluster area and believe that the projects we are supporting will make a real difference to building positive relations across the Carrickfergus, Antrim and Newtownabbey areas. The current projects and programmes are just the start of the work that the CAN Partnership will be supporting over the coming months as we strive to tackle sectarianism and racism across the three boroughs”
