Celebrating Our Anniversary as a Living Wage Employer
At Step Up Support, we are thrilled to announce the celebration of our anniversary as a proud Living Wage Employer, marked on the 12th of January 2025. This milestone is a testament to our ongoing commitment to ensuring that every member of our team is fairly compensated for their hard work, dedication, and invaluable contributions.
The real Living Wage is more than just a number, it’s a reflection of what it truly takes to meet the cost of living. It’s a rate independently calculated based on the everyday needs of workers and their families, such as covering the weekly shop, managing utility bills, or even handling unexpected expenses like a trip to the dentist.
Why We Believe in the Real Living Wage
Becoming a Living Wage Employer wasn’t just a choice for us, it was a responsibility. The real Living Wage is voluntarily paid by over 15,000 businesses across the UK who share the belief that fair pay is a fundamental right. We want to create a workplace where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.
Over 460,000 employees in the UK have already received a pay rise thanks to the Living Wage campaign, transforming lives and families. From globally recognised giants like Google and Nationwide to community-focused small businesses like ours, the Living Wage movement is built on a broad coalition of employers who understand that fair pay fosters loyalty, productivity, and a stronger society.
Our Commitment
Joining this movement has been one of our proudest achievements. By paying the real Living Wage, we’re investing in our team’s wellbeing and contributing to a more equitable economy. As we look to the future, we remain committed to championing fair pay and encouraging others to join the movement. Together, we can create a world where work is rewarded with dignity, respect, and a wage that meets life’s needs.
