What is the Living Wage?

The Brighton & Hove Living Wage Campaign encourages local businesses to voluntarily pay all employees the real Living Wage instead of the government’s national minimum.

The Living Wage is set independently and calculated annually, based on the amount a person needs to live to a reasonable standard.

The current real Living Wage is £12.00 per hour. The new rate is announced every November and businesses are given until 1st of April to implement the new rate.

We support and encourage local businesses to voluntarily commit to paying their employees the Living Wage.

Are you already paying the Living Wage? Sign up here to show your commitment to the campaign and display a Brighton & Hove Living Wage logo on your premises, marketing materials and website.

We are proud to be committed to the Living Wage Campaign, paying a fair wage in an area with such a high cost of living. Our small team work extremely hard to alleviate food poverty for the community’s most vulnerable which must be exchanged for a sustainable salary.
