Brewgooder #OneOnUs

Donate a Round of Beer & a Message of Support for an NHS Champion

Scottish based beer brand and social enterprise Brewgooder make great tasting craft beer and use their profits to fund clean drinking water projects in developing countries.

Since 2016, they have supported over 65,000 people out of water poverty.

The organisation joined our network of over 1700 Living Wage accredited employers in 2018 and celebrated their commitment by giving away cases of beer to accredited Living Wage employers in the hospitality industry.

Now, amidst the challenges presented by the Covid-19 crisis, Brewgooder have launched the ‘One On Us’ campaign, encouraging people to pay forward Brewgooder beer which any NHS employee can redeem as a thank you for all of their hard work.

“At Brewgooder, social good is the heart of what we do, and acts of social good have never been needed more than now. Typically, we brew and sell beer to help fund clean drinking water projects across the globe. While this remains our core mission, when we’re needing support on our doorstep, we felt it was right to do our part. So, help us recognise the everyday commitment of our NHS champions and buy them one on us, for when they’re ready to enjoy it.” – Alan Mahon, Founder

Having launched just last week, almost 1400 NHS champions have already benefitted from this campaign.

Living Wage Scotland would like to encourage everyone in our network and further afield to consider taking part to show appreciation for the NHS staff during this difficult time.

Keep the Laughter Alive: Saturday Night Live at the Stand

With venues in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle upon Tyne, the Stand Comedy Club is famous for having hosted some of the best home grown talents such as Kevin Bridges and Frankie Boyle and provides a platform for up and coming comedians.

The Stand has been an accredited Living Wage employer since 2015 and continues to play a prominent role in demonstrating leadership within the hospitality industry by highlighting both the business value and social impact of the real Living Wage.

‘We are all on lock down, but the show must go on!’

For those of us who are missing our usual weekends spent among friends and family during this time of social distancing, The Stand has decided to lighten the mood by Live Streaming their Saturday show- bringing the laughter straight to our living rooms!

The next live show is on Saturday, 4th April from 8.30pm

Viewers and comedy fans are being encouraged to make a donation to The Stand to help ensure the survival of this infamous comedy club by helping to pay staff and acts.

“The Stand has never been a huge money-making machine. We are here because comedy fans wanted a club for comedy fans. Our ethos has always been to offer high quality entertainment at affordable prices. We are a living wage employer and have always put the well-being of our staff, acts and customers first.” – The Stand Comedy Club
