Living Wage Foundation

The Living Wage Foundation is a UK organization that promotes paying workers a fair wage that covers the true cost of living, including essentials like housing and food. Unlike the minimum wage set by law, the living wage is a voluntary, calculated rate that employers can choose to pay to ensure their staff can afford a decent standard of living. It aims to reduce poverty and improve well-being by encouraging businesses to recognize the importance of fair pay beyond legal requirements. Many organizations proudly display the Living Wage badge as a commitment to fair compensation.
