Living Wage Employer

The Real Living Wage is set by the Living Wage Foundation , it is based on the cost of living including rent.  In 2023 Spring Community Hub became the 300th Southwark organisation to become a Living Wage Employer. 

One of the issues Spring Community Hub tackles is in work poverty, as such, it was important to the CEO and Trustees to tackle that issue for their own workforce.  As the CEO said “Given the work that we do we are acutely aware of the impact of the cost of living crisis on people in the borough, even those who are working.  As responsible employers it is important for us to set a positive example by paying our staff a living wage so they can at least meet the basic costs associated with living in London”
