A NOT-for-profit living provider has hosted an event to showcase the options available to people in later life.

Anchor hosted the Later Living for Less event at its Bingley development, The Chimes.

Visitors were treated to a tour of the development's one- and two-bedroom apartments, as well as communal areas and the onsite bistro, where refreshments were served.

Nichola Varley, sales manager at The Chimes, said: "At Anchor, we understand the difficulty of moving to a new place, so we hope this event has helped answer questions and offer insight into later living."

According to a Savanta survey for the publication Fragmented UK, conducted between June 2021 and January 2022, 80 per cent of those advancing into their latter years do not understand the options open to them.

The Chimes is designed for over 55s, offering apartments to rent or buy with Shared Ownership.
