Party time for Anchor
MORE INFLUENTIAL
A key part of our Business Plan is to be More Influential. Talking to influential people at events like this year’s Labour and Conservative Party Conferences, is one of the things Chief Executive Sarah Jones is doing to achieve that.
At the Labour Party Conference, Sarah spoke at a panel event alongside Shadow Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Wes Streeting. The event, organised by Anchor and the National Care Forum, focused on Labour’s proposals for a National Care Service and the role of the not-for-profit sector.
Sarah explained how we and other not-for-profits reinvest to continually improve services and used the opportunity to highlight the great work we’re doing to recruit and retain highly skilled and committed colleagues through our training and development programmes. At the Conservative Party Conference, Sarah and Mario Ambrosi, Director of Communications and Marketing, were at a roundtable’ event, organised by Anchor and the International Longevity Centre, on the future of the UK’s towns and cities in our ageing society. Speaking alongside former minister and Conservative peer, Lord Willetts, Sarah and Mario highlighted the crucial role of specialist older people’s housing in enabling active participation in their local communities.
