Launched in 2012, the Brighton & Hove Living Wage Campaign aims to encourage local businesses to voluntarily pay all employees a decent hourly rate.
Set independently and updated annually the Living Wage is calculated according to the basic cost of living in the UK and is the amount that allows a person to live, rather than just survive. The new rate is announced every November during Living Wage week and businesses are given until 1st April to implement the new rate which is currently £8.75 per hour
Our aim is to support and encourage local businesses to voluntarily commit to paying their employees the Living Wage. If you are already paying the Living Wage you can sign up here to show your business’ commitment and then display a Brighton & Hove Living Wage logo on your premises, marketing materials and website. See here who has signed up already.
If you are not paying the Living Wage but would like to join the 423 businesses that currently do, please contact us here for advice and support.
As a company, we promote conscious consumerism and encourage people to know who made their products and where they came from. We try our hardest to ensure the brands we stock have ethical and transparent supply chains and that everyone is treated fairly and paid fairly along these supply chains. We support Fair Trade products…
We believe in supporting and investing in our team!
We believe in a comfortable life for all and people being paid fairly for the hard work that they do. If companies would like to be the best then they should be offering fair and good wages as an incentive for their workforce to be the best.
"Lollipop Print are proud supporters of the Living Wage Campaign and everything it stands for.
