Community Anchors: Fit For Purpose conference
Community anchors are multipurpose organisations that create a hub of activity in a local area, engaging people to participate in a range of different events and projects.
Booking is now open for the ‘Community Anchors: Fit For Purpose‘ conference on Thursday 4th June where we will be discussing whether - in these uncertain financial times - Community Anchors will really be ‘fit for purpose’? This one day conference is aimed at practitioners, researchers and policy makers passionate about the role of Community Anchors in bringing change to their communities.
Throughout the day there will be the opportunity to discuss and debate the current issues surrounding the sustainability and future of Community Anchors, as well as hearing from a range of key practitioners and researchers in the sector. This event is hosted by the Bromley-by-Bow Centre, Community Links, Toynbee Hall and the Centre For Institutional Studies at the University of East London.
