Hello and welcome... …to Life, our resident magazine.
W elcome to the latest issue of Life, my first as Anchor’s Chief Executive. I have been with the organisation since 2014 and moved into my new role in August, having previously been Chief Financial Officer. It’s a time for new roles - a new Prime Minister in Liz Truss and, with the sad passing of Her Majesty The Queen, a new King. For many, The Queen was a reassuring constant and I have been very touched to hear residents reflecting on her life. The changes are happening against a cost-of-living crisis and many of the residents I speak to tell me about the pressures they face. We’re working hard to make our service as cost- effective as possible and support
residents, for example through our Be Wise service which you can read about on page 3. While much is changing, one thing that won’t is our commitment to providing homes where residents can love living in later life.
