About the Citizens UK and Living Wage Foundation
The Living Wage Foundation (LWF) was launched in 2011 to tackle in-work poverty. We encourage and celebrate employers that pay the real Living Wage- calculated according to the cost of living - through an accreditation programme. We have additional schemes which address other aspects of in-work poverty, such as insecure contracts and pensions. We also run local and national campaigns to promote the Living Wage in different sectors and regions. There is more information on our website: What do we do?
The Living Wage Foundation is one of several projects run by charity Citizens UK - the home of community organising. Citizens UK train and coordinate civil society leaders to work on the issues that matter to them.
Our culture is driven by our six organisational values: Solidarity, Kindness, Courage, Integrity, Inclusion, and Relational. You can read more here.

Context and Background
The NSPCC's mission is to end cruelty to children. Every childhood is worth fighting for. This is our
belief. We all share it. And it drives our Income Generation team to get out there and bring in the
funds we need to protect children and prevent abuse.
We’ve been here for children for over 100 years. From our campaigns to our services- we strive to
make a difference in everything we do. Between 2016 and 2021, we’ve helped make 6.6 million
children safer from abuse.
Within the Income Generation Directorate our aim is to maximise resources for the NSPCC’s
mission by raising funds, providing the best possible supporter experience, and building long-term
relationships between donors and our cause.

way to make a difference that means more, and that impacts millions of young lives. We want to
ensure roles are accessible and inclusive of everyone, which is why the NSPCC offers a high degree
of flexibility around ways of working.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is at the heart of what we do. At the NSPCC, we understand
how important it is that our workforce is representative of the people we support and who
support us. We believe that every individual has the right to be their true self and to live a full life
without prejudice, fear or barriers. This is the starting point for all our commitments and actions
and underpins our commitment to be there for all children.
