Leeds Anchors Movement Launch

An Anchor organisation is one that recognises its influence and uses it positively, whether that's creating good jobs, supporting local businesses, strengthening communities, improving opportunities for local people, or helping to protect the environment. Being an Anchor isn't about size or sector. It's about a commitment to making Leeds a better place through the way you work, spend, employ and engage.

Building on nearly a decade of successful Anchor collaboration across the city, this event is an opportunity to be part of a growing movement of organisations that are backing Leeds and helping to shape its future. Whether you're already taking action or just starting to think about the difference your organisation could make, we'd love you to join the conversation.

At the launch, you'll:

• Hear inspiring stories from organisations that are making a real difference across Leeds through making small shifts in the way they operate, and discover the benefits they've seen for their communities, employees and organisations.
• Connect with like-minded people who share a commitment to supporting Leeds and creating positive local impact.
• Explore new ideas and opportunities to work together and achieve more collectively than any organisation can alone.
• Find out how easy it is to get involved and become part of a growing movement for a stronger Leeds.

Why attend?

Because Leeds is shaped by the decisions we make every day. This launch is an opportunity to connect with others who believe businesses, charities, public sector organisations and community groups can all play a role in creating a thriving city for everyone. Come and discover how your organisation can be part of a movement that is helping Leeds succeed, one decision, one partnership and one action at a time.
