Working jointly, our vision is to have a Community Anchor in every neighbourhood and provide a wide range of services and products aimed at supporting strong and sustainable anchor organisations.

Download our joint publication Anchors of Tomorrow: a vision for community organisations of the future.

The Community Alliance operates both nationally and regionally.

At a national level the three organisations are cooperating on seven projects:

  • Promoting Visible as the main accredited standard for Anchors.
    • Anchors of Tomorrow: exploring new approaches and models of delivery for the Community Anchor Organisations.
    • A Leaders of Tomorrow programme to help current staff at anchor organisations develop into tomorrow's CEOs.
    • Voice: helping Community Anchors to look strategically at their advocacy and campaigning activity.
    • The Healthcheck: a quick way for new and emerging Community Anchors to benchmark their operational and management proceedures.
    • Knowledge and Skills Exchange to support peer learning.
    • Assembling a national evidence base on effective community development approaches pursued by Community Anchors.

At a regional level our Regional Coordinators work closely with their DTA and bassac counterparts to provide support and advice to all our members, a coordinated series of workshops, conferences and networking opportunities, and a voice at the regional strategic level for the concerns, needs and aspirations of our members. For further details on what is happening in your region please go to Community Matters Locally.
