Caritas Social Action Network or CSAN is a British not-for-profit social welfare and social justice organisation. It is a service of the Catholic Church in England and Wales and a member of both Caritas Internationalis and Caritas Europa.

Its sister agency for international humanitarian aid and development is the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (CAFOD).

History

Caritas Social Action Network (CSAN) was established in March 2003 to elevate the visibility and influence of Catholic contributions to social justice in England and Wales. CSAN consolidated the functions of three previous social welfare organisations affiliated with the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales: the Social Welfare Committee, the Catholic Agency for Social Concern (CASC), and the Catholic Child Welfare Council (CCWC).

The merger of these organisations into CSAN intended to enhance the Church's capacity to influence public discourse and policy on social care. CSAN also gained an international dimension, becoming a member of Caritas Internationalis and Caritas Europa, fostering collaboration on global and European social welfare initiatives.

Structure and work

CSAN is a federation of more than 50 different Catholic organisations in England and Wales working with a range of stakeholders, including children and families, homeless persons, migrants and refugees, severely and multiply disadvantaged people, young criminals, older people, persons suffering from addiction, and many others.

As of 2024, the member organisations of CSAN are:

The Catholic Social Action Network maintains a small national team based in London and active in the coordination and support of its members, as well as in advocacy.
