Building community benefit through local anchor networks
This document weaves in stories of networks found across London to demonstrate the origins, evolution, approaches, and impact of anchor networks across London. Though each network is different, they all share a mission-oriented approach to generate community benefit in the places they operate. That mission is the root of a network’s design as membership, action, and evolution over time all are in service of advancing those shared objectives.
