Community Business and Anchor Institutions

This research funded by Power to Change looks at how community businesses and anchor institutions can better work together to evolve and realise their full potential, and build local wealth. Primary research in three localities – Liverpool, Bristol and Ipswich – identified a number of key barriers and challenges to better working, and recommendations are made targeted at a number of groups: Anchor institutions, community businesses, national policymakers, local policymakers and the community.
