Living Wage Campaign Group

This is a pan Lanarkshire group whose focus is to develop a consistent and co-ordinated approach across all partners to engage with local businesses and employers to promote the Living Wage ensuring that as many businesses/employers pay the Living Wage to the benefit of employers/businesses, employees and the local community as a whole.  This is done by bringing staff together from across Lanarkshire who work in partnership to promote the Living Wage.

This group has been active since 2012 and has members from relevant partners across all sectors.  This is currently chaired by Personnel Services, South Lanarkshire Council.

  • Sharing information

  • Hosting of awareness raising events both physical and online
