  • Paying the Living Wage is good for business, good for the individual and good for society.
  • The Living Wage is based on the cost of living in each area of the U.K..
On Wednesday at 6.30 p.m. the topic of conversation is the growing poverty in our countries with increasingly more people living on low wages.The Living Wage campaign in Britain is having good effect. It is a campaign to pay workers the Living Wage which is about two pounds more than the minimum wage.
Companies commit to paying the living wage and raise their profile among their customers.
