Our Residents

Who we help

Every year, more than six thousand households in the borough of Newham are in need of temporary accommodation.

Last year, Anchor House welcomed over 170 homeless adults through its doors who had nowhere to live.

Our services are geared towards helping adults, both male and female between the age of 20-60 with low to medium support needs.

Our programme of activities cover employment, education and training, health and well-being, personal development and community involvement.

Our goal is to help people to find a job and a home and, importantly, to have the confidence and ability to sustain this long-term.
