Living Wage Week

November/December 2023

In Newham, one of the ways in which the impact of the cost-of-living crisis is being addressed is through efforts to maximise the reach of the London Living Wage. Currently, 84 organisations in Newham, including Enabled Living, are registered with The Living Wage Foundation.

Enabled Living, part of The Royal Docks Living Wage Action group, has collaborated with local organisations, achieving a 50 per cent increase in employers committing to the London Living Wage in the last two years. They have also accredited large employers like Sunborn London Yacht Hotel and General People, won national Living Wage Awards, and organized awareness-raising events. The group aims to double its membership yearly, potentially leading to pay increases for around 3000 local families by 2025. Additionally, TELCO Living Wage Action Group is working to bring three local NHS Trusts on board.
