Up and down the country, organisations known as community anchors are making extraordinary differences to people’s lives. These organisations sit in the heart of their communities. They know their communities inside out and from this knowledge devise tailored activities, services and support. They offer anything from vocational training for young people living in inner city areas to volunteer taxi services for isolated older people in rural villages. Local people from the community manage and run these organisations, and very often work or volunteer in them as well.
