Shetland Anchor Project Praised in Study by Robert Gordon University
Shetland's Anchor Project has been praised by Robert Gordon University for supporting families with the cost of living.
A study, led by Professor Catriona Kennedy, Associate Dean for Research at Robert Gordon University, has praised the work of the Shetland Anchor Project as dynamic and a leader in social action. Professor Kennedy said: “A key part of Anchor Shetland’s success, has been the project’s problem-solving and practical approach. If a child needs shoes or a warm coat, Anchor workers prioritise this, without the need to know why in the first instance. This speaks to the non-judgemental, openness, compassion, humanity, and kindness we identified as part of the Anchor approach, building trust, and encouraging long-term independence and sustainability.
