"Your Place" Visit

Supporting our charities is a fundamental reason why people enjoy being part of a Livery Company. Free Warden Chris Turner, CEO of the Fan Makers Charity Trust Richard King and Liveryman Mary Kitson visited Your Place Earlier in the summer.  The Fan Makers team is flanked by Chris Vasey, Trust and Foundation Manager on the left and Dan Beacon, Head of Fundraising and Communications on the right.

Your Place, formerly known as Caritas Anchor House – which the Company has supported since 2012 - is a homeless charity based in the London Borough of Newham where 1 in 18 people are homeless. Their strapline of ‘Solving homelessness one person at a time’ is at their root – they recognise that all individuals have different needs and they work with them to help them solve their problems and to create the sense of community that is crucial to defeating the isolation that many homeless people suffer from. . Your Place can house 158 clients, all of whom must be referred by the Local Authority.
