London Living Wage: Good for Business, Good for People


The London Living Wage reflects the actual cost of living and is the only rate that pays what your employees need to live in London.

Join us in making Lambeth a Living Wage Place, and show your commitment to your staff by becoming a Living Wage accredited employer.

London Living Wage employee: “It’s the difference between existing and having a life.”

We are offering the first 100 businesses that become an accredited London Living Wage employer a three-year business grant. Our aim is to support and encourage as many local businesses to commit to paying their employees the Living Wage and experience the benefits that becoming accredited has to offer.

A survey of UK employers paying the Living Wage reveals:

  • 93% reported having benefited from their accreditation.
  • 86% say it improved their reputation
  • 62% say it improved relations between managers and staff
  • 60% say it improved recruitment of employees into their business

And for employees who receive the real London Living Wage, it’s a route out of in-work poverty and a life-line to dignity and security.

London Living Wage employer “The Manual”: “Being accredited as a Living Wage Employer is an easy, simple process which provides instant satisfaction, knowing you’re doing the right thing by your employees and suppliers.”

To thank you and celebrate your status as a newly registered Living Wage Employer, you’ll be part of high-profile Comms promotions internally and externally. We will also invite you an Annual Celebration Event so get ready for your selfie and make a real difference to hard-working people’s lives.

“It’s the difference between existing and having a life” (LLW employee)

“It’s a really simple process to become accredited and will reflect positively on you as a business. Go for it! Lambeth is a rich and diverse borough with so many of the skills businesses and charities need on the doorstep. It’s important to ensure your team feel valued and able to earn a fair wage – particularly amidst a growing cost-of-living crisis.” (Lambeth Business Healthy Living Platform)
