Presentation of the Associate Director of Partnerships and Sustainability, NHS Cheshire and Merseyside

The Board received a presentation of the Associate Director of Partnerships and Sustainability, NHS Cheshire and Merseyside which recommended that the Board formally adopt the Anchor Cheshire and Merseyside Anchor Institution Charter and Principles.

‘Anchor institutions’ were usually large public sector organisations rooted in and connected to their local communities. They could improve health through their influence on local social and economic conditions by adapting the way they employed people, purchased goods and services, used buildings and spaces, reduced environmental impact, and worked in partnership.

The Board discussed the benefits of adopting the Anchor Charter.

RESOLVED:

That the Anchor Cheshire and Merseyside Anchor Institution Charter and Principles be formally adopted.
