Because it is the right thing to do!
We support the living wage as we want all our employees to have a decent standard of living within the community.
The strength of our organisation rests on the strength of our staff. We value our staff and we believe in a fair wage for all
"We feel that it’s essential that staff feel valued and supported and the Living Wage Campaign does so much to help ensure that hard-working people get a fair and reasonable income. This is why the College is proud to give this campaign our wholehearted backing."
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.
