Anchor Institutions

 

Anchor Institutions are large organisations rooted in specific areas and communities, using substantial resources to address social needs and enhance community wellbeing e.g. NHS trusts, local authorities, universities, in terms of their:

  • Size of assets - income, staffing and estate
  • Long-lasting presence in a geographical area
  • Using influence and assets to improve economic, social and environmental conditions in the areas they serve
  • Reducing inequalities and contribute to healthier and thriving communities.

The Trust is signed up to the Cheshire and Merseyside Health and Care Partnership's Anchor Institution Charter which is made up of the following pillars:
