Caritas Anchor House

Caritas Anchor House aims to help homeless residents develop aspirations, confidence and self-esteem to enable them to move towards leading independent, self-fulfilling lives.

We achieve this through providing accommodation in a stable and welcoming environment and through a cross-section of activities carried out using our in-house developed Aspirations Programme, designed and implemented in 2005 in conjunction with residents.

Historically a hostel for seafarers visiting the ports of East London, and formerly named Anchor House, Caritas Anchor House today is a charity based in Canning Town that provides support over 230 homeless people each year to help them move on to employment and independent living.
