Preston Living Wage City Celebration and Networking Breakfast Event

The Preston Living Wage Action Group warmly invites you to join likeminded organisations to celebrate Preston's achievements as a Living Wage City!

Held at the newly refurbished Harris Museum, the event will celebrate successes to date and outline plans to increase the number of real Living Wage accredited employers in the city.

• Speakers include local accredited business leaders from Ethical Pixels and Believe Care & Support, and Sophie Little, Senior Programme Manager at the Living Wage Foundation.

• We will hear from employers on the importance of committing to the real Living Wage and how it benefits organisations and employees.

Refreshments and breakfast will be served from 8:00 am, with a Q&A session beginning at 8:30am, followed by a further opportunity for networking.

To support Preston-based SME business and voluntary organisations in Preston to accredit, Preston City Council has launched a small grants scheme to reimburse the fee charged by the Living Wage Foundation when accrediting. For more information and to check eligibility, visit our Living Wage accreditation grants scheme page.

Employers who accredit before the 29th September will be presented with their Living Wage Foundation plaque during the event - so don't delay in taking advantage of this offer!

We look forward to welcoming up to 70 local businesses and voluntary sector organisations for food, networking and celebrations.

See you there!
