DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
Networks working for us all
part of the colleague networks as inclusion and diversity in the workplace are so important to me, and it gives me an opportunity to shape the conversations at Anchor around these topics. The networks have provided me with a sense of community at work that I’ve not really had before. I’ve made connections with so many great colleagues, and I feel like I can truly be myself without worrying that I’m too different to fit in. I’m also involved with the changes we’re making to our Disability Network, which will be happening soon.” Formerly a member of the Rainbow Network, Lauren Gill
We’re committed to creating a more diverse and inclusive organisation, harnessing the talents of all our colleagues and embedding our Respectful value, to make Anchor a great place to work for everyone. One of the ways we’re doing this is through our colleague-led networks which offer advice to our organisation. These networks also provide colleagues with support, highlight career development opportunities, create supportive environments and help bring people together.

LGBT+ history month has been a great opportunity to educate and I’m so pleased that it went down well with colleagues.”

Inspiring artworks We had some amazing entries to our art competition during LGBT+ History Month. Congratulations go to our talented winner, Claire Lukehurst, Estate Manager at Hanover House, Folkstone, for submitting ‘Doubly Exposing Domestic Abuse’, The presentation cleverly uses Claire’s image as both perpetrator and victim to highlight the issue of domestic abuse within LGBT relationships.
