What is Living Wage Foundation?

The Living Wage Foundation is an independent body that accredits employers paying the voluntary Real Living Wage — a rate calculated annually from the cost of living, higher than the statutory National Living Wage. Two rates are published: a UK rate and a higher London rate. Over 14,000 UK employers are accredited and may display the Living Wage Employer mark.
