The scale of the challenges we face calls for new solutions and approaches.
By working together we can achieve a greater impact than working alone and create the social and economic conditions we need to thrive.
The London Anchor Institutions’ Network (LAIN) brings together some of the capital’s biggest organisations, who are working collaboratively to address long-standing social and economic inequalities and the growing climate emergency.
In March 2021, our founding “anchor” organisations signed London’s first ever city-wide Anchor Institutions’ Charter. With significant presence and influence in the city, our signatories pledged to leverage their procurement, recruitment, and estate management capacity to support Londoners most impacted by the pandemic, and to ensure a green recovery.
The importance of our work as anchor institutions extends well beyond the immediate post-pandemic era and is as relevant now as when we began.
What is an ‘anchor’?
Anchors institutions are large well-resourced organisations that are rooted in place long-term.
What is the ‘anchor philosophy’?
Through the strategic and intentional management of their sizeable estates, workforces and annual budgets, anchor institutions are uniquely positioned to benefit their local economies and address inequalities.
