The basics:

The Living Wage campaign is an independent movement of businesses, organisations and people who believe a hard day's work deserves a fair day's pay.

The campaign was launched by members of London Citizens in 2001 and enjoys cross-party support across the UK. Lambeth, Lewisham, and Southwark are living wage employers, and are key advocates of the Living Wage campaign.

The Event:

Our Living Wage Week event will take place at Mercato Metropolitano from 5pm - 7:15pm
