Listen to Brett Mendell from #LivingWage and #LivingHours Employer @tknealeco talk to @ITV's @GMB about why workers need a wage that meets everyday needs 👇
Around 2 million low-paid workers have less than £10 a month left over after paying for their essentials. 2 in 5 have used a food bank in the past year, according to the Living Wage Foundation, who campaign to encourage companies to pay workers a bit extra each month, to meet

Amazing!! #LivingWageWeek
“I just assumed you’d be up for this” said Amy. “I am.” Said Cath. Being paid a fair wage means that people are not existing in survival mode, worrying their way from one bill to the next, but can find the energy to enjoy pursuits like wild swimming… #LivingWageWeek

Fantastic coverage of todays new real @LivingWageUK rates - thank you to the 14k employers who are signed up which means nearly half a million pay rises at a time a time when it’s never been needed more
The voluntary Real Living Wage is to increase by 10% today to reflect the ongoing cost-of-living crisis. Almost half a million people working for 14,000 employers will get the wage rise.
