We’re pleased to announce that The Living Wage Foundation has accredited LUC as a Living Wage employer.

This Living Wage commitment ensures everyone working at LUC, whether employees or third-party contracted staff, receive a minimum hourly wage of £8.75 in the UK or £10.20 in London. Both of these rates are significantly higher than the statutory minimum for over 25s of £7.50 per hour introduced in April 2017.

Helen Ash, HR Manager, LUC said: “We are delighted to join the Living Wage network because the accreditation reflects our commitment to creating an environment in which colleagues can flourish and make a positive contribution to our local communities.”

Katherine Chapman, Director, Living Wage Foundation said: “We welcome LUC to the Living Wage movement as an accredited employer.

“Responsible businesses across the UK are voluntarily signing up to pay the real Living Wage now. The real Living Wage rate is annually calculated to reflect the real costs of living.”
