From grants to business support, we offer a range of new incentives to help you become accredited.

The LLW is an hourly rate of pay, currently set at £13.15, calculated to give workers in London enough to afford the essentials and to save.

For more than two-thirds of residents, cost of living is still what they’re most worried about. It is more important than ever for our residents to be paid a fair wage.

LLW accreditation is good for business. When the Living Wage Foundation surveyed accredited businesses across the country, 94% said it helped attract more customers and improved staff recruitment and retention.

The survey showed that people want to work for a Living Wage organisation, with 93% of university students wanting to work for an accredited employer.

As part of our commitment to support more businesses in the borough to join the 60-plus local employers who are already LLWaccredited, we have launched a new package of incentives, including grants, training programmes, and free recruitment services.

These incentives are just one of the ways we can help support your business. Find out more by contacting our team on invest@ealing.gov.uk or by going to goodforealing.com
