This week marks Living Wage Week, the annual celebration of the Living Wage movement and this year’s theme: “the difference it makes.”

Paying the real Living Wage, offering Living Hours, and moving towards a Living Pension, doesn’t just improve employment conditions - it transforms lives, families, and communities.

At LUPC, we’re proud to be an accredited Living Wage Employer. Fair pay is a core pillar of responsible procurement, and we remain committed to supporting supply chains that treat people with dignity, stability, and respect.

Ensuring staff are paid a wage that reflects everyday living costs isn’t just the right thing to do - it leads to better retention, improved wellbeing, and stronger, more resilient services.

As we celebrate Living Wage Week, we continue to encourage open conversations about fair work, transparency, and the positive impact that responsible procurement can have across our sector.
