At The Anchor, we provide a safe, steady, and non-clinical space for men, women, and families across Inverclyde. Our mission is to prevent suicide through our three key services:

Stability: Immediate support through a programme to prevent suicide. 

Connection: Longer-term peer and social support to combat isolation and loneliness. 

Belonging: Community outreach programmes with partners to support wider mental health. 

Who We Are
Formerly Man On, we have evolved into The Anchor - an inclusive charity dedicated to suicide prevention and community wellbeing. Our identity is built on professional competence delivered with a sincere, approachable heart.

What We Do
We offer a range of services designed to build stability and foster relationships, including:

Crisis Support: Immediate, accessible help for those in distress.

Peer Support Groups: Social connection for adults and young people to combat isolation.

Youth Services: Specialised resources focused on anxiety, school stress, and mood regulation.

Training: We are Living Works licensed and Public Health Scotland-approved trainers, providing evidence-based suicide prevention education.

Our Identity
We use our bold identity - the bright yellow anchor against the dark blue sea - as a symbol of the visibility and hope we bring to those navigating difficult times.

Be The Anchor
Suicide prevention is a community effort. Whether you need support, want to refer a loved one, or are looking to support our mission through donations or volunteering, we invite you to join us.
