Living Wage Foundation

The Living Wage Foundation was launched in 2011 by Citizens UK to tackle in-work poverty and ensure that workers earn enough to live on and participate in family and community life. Citizens UK is the home of community organising with diverse civil society alliances set up to develop leaders to work on the issues that matter to them, such as the Living Wage. Other projects include Parent Action and Sponsor Refugees to add depth to the impact of Citizens UK’s work.

The Living Wage is a movement of businesses, organisations and people who believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay. The real Living Wage is an independently-calculated hourly rate based on the cost of living and announced each October ahead of Living Wage Week, our annual celebration of a growing network of over 15,000 Living Wage Employers.

The Living Wage Foundation celebrates employers that voluntarily choose to pay the real Living Wage through an accreditation scheme that recognises a long-term commitment to fair pay and has secured pay rises for 475,000 low paid workers. Over recent years, the Living Wage Foundation has built on the success of the real Living Wage by creating new responsible employment standards – Living Hours and Living Pension – for those employers who want to go further and provide the security workers need now and in the future.

We’ve already learned so much and are designing an impact assessment tool with the 
practitioners. Although the setup of the project is done, there is lots of learning still to do and 
the manager of this work will facilitate and maximise this learning. 
Starlight Health Play Specialists not only create the time, space and opportunity for children to 
play, whether that’s for preparation for procedures, management of anxiety, entertainment 
during long periods of boredom or aiding recovery. They carry out on-the-ground research, 
measure impact of activities, sharing their learning with us and help us to really understand 
what makes a brilliant Health Play Specialist and develop standards and training.They are 
beacons of good practice, championing and protecting play in healthcare – and that is where 
you, our new Play Specialist Programme Manager, come in.
