Health Anchors Learning Network
Health Anchors Learning Network is a new, UK-wide network for people responsible for, or interested in, anchor approaches in health. The network provides spaces and opportunities for participants to learn with peers and experts about how anchor organisations can consciously use their resources and influence to improve the social determinants of health and help reduce inequalities.
