This report outlines the findings from the evaluation of Anchor+ undertaken by Dr Olumide Adisa, Dr Katherine Allen, and Joana Ferreira at the Centre for Abuse Research (CARe) between September
2020 - June 2021.

Anchor+ is an amalgamation and extension of two formerly separate programmes, Project Safety Net Plus (PSN+) and the Anchor Project (AP).

Anchor+ launched on 1st September 2020 following the end
of funding for these projects as distinct entities. Both PSN+ (Norfolk and Suffolk) and AP (Norfolk) had been highly collaborative in design and implementation, closing gaps in local domestic abuse (DA)
provision for service users who may otherwise face barriers to accessing emergency accommodation and support, with PSN+ focusing on those with support needs around immigration status, language, and recourse to public funds (NRPF), and AP supporting those with mental health and substance use issues.
