At the Foundation, we believe that properly paid employment is the surest way out of poverty for working age people. We want to support charities to pay the Living Wage and help tackle the issue of low pay in the voluntary sector.
To this end we have joined the Living Wage Friendly Funder scheme. This seeks to ensure that all posts which we wholly or partially fund pay the Living Wage unless there are particular reasons for this not to happen. Organisations do not need to be registered Living Wage employers to apply to the us but we do encourage organisations to consider whether this is a possibility for them.
Our next Grant Round opens on 18 November and more information can be found here.
