We are in a #costofliving emergency, and nobody knows it like the 4.8 million workers in low paid jobs. Now more than ever, workers need a real #LivingWage.
Here's what our Director, Katherine Chapman, said following today's news from the ONS that #inflation has hit 9.1%.
For a couple with one child, the gap between earning the new government’s minimum and the real Living Wage of £1,150 a year could pay for:

Today, the government’s ‘National Living Wage’ rose to £8.91 for over 23's. A welcome pay boost for minimum wage workers, but a substantial gap remains to the real #LivingWage rates of £9.50 (UK), £10.85 (London)paid by over 7000 employers. @LivingWageUK

Every year we like to celebrate Christmas and thank our clients and suppliers by means of a gift. In previous years, we have gifted hampers, wine and chocolates but decided to give to a greater cause this year.
