Anchor House has 119 rooms with ensuite and e-learning facilities and offers supported housing to homeless men and women aged 18 to 60 with a local connection to London Borough of Newham. We design, deliver and host an holistic range of life-skills and educational training courses for our resident population and the local community as well as innovative volunteering and placement opportunities using our TimeBank. We work closely with statutory agencies and other third sector organisations including the police (including BTP)and across the agencies represented on the London Borough of Newham Community Safety Partnership. We have a fruitful network of corporate partners in the City to underpin our work and are about to construct new facilities for community engagement, education and training, including 25 move-on flats to promote sustained independent living.
