Living Wage Week 2024

the real Living Wage movement

This year the Living Wage network came together to celebrate its fantastic work across the 4-10th November.

Below you can see some of the highlights, all made possible by our amazing network of employers and supporters.

You can also download our Living Wage Week Guide for ideas on how to join in and show your support for a real Living Wage. Get in touch with us if you have an idea for celebrating your commitment.

During the week, we welcomed new employers and shared blogs and articles related to the campaign. We also visited accredited employers with Scottish Government Ministers and local councillors to highlight their commitment. With your help, we got our social media channels buzzing!
