Summary/Overview:

The Can Do Exchange is run by the Scarman Trust and is aimed at groups and individuals who are active in their community. It aims to provide an online space where people can access untapped resources that already exist within communities but are being underutilised. This is achieved by offering the facility to post messages about resources or services that are required or offered. The Exchange is a fantastic idea, but the web-design and text layout makes it somewhat difficult to use.

Although the site has many active users compared to many other sites, there is still room for further growth and activity. The site has great potential to become a leading point of exchange and information for the voluntary and community sector.
