Anchor - Anchor Court

Our chatty benches are popping up all over the country to help combat loneliness and bring people together. Colourful signs are added to existing benches, letting everyone know that by sitting on them you're happy to chat with whoever joins you.

We know the positive impact of creating safe environments for people to connect. The chatty bench plaques act as a talking point and encourage those who see them to reach out and spark up conversations with the people around them.

Get involved by finding your nearest public chatty bench below or get in touch to help bring great conversations to your local community.

We’re proud to celebrate the opening of the new Namaste Room at Anchor - The Firs care home in Felixstowe - a calming, multi-sensory space designed to support residents’ wellbeing, particularly those living with dementia.

Inspired by person-centred Namaste Care approaches, the room was brought to life by the incredible efforts of colleagues, residents’ families, and the local community. From re-plastering and painting to floral displays and fundraising, this has been a true collaboration.

This space is a reflection of our commitment to compassionate, person-centred care, and we’re excited to see the lasting positive impact it will have on the lives of our residents and their families.
