Living Wage Friendly Funders support charities to pay the real Living Wage through their grant-making. Together with 31 other charitable funders from across the UK, we are working to end low pay in the charity sector.

As a Friendly Funder, we are committed to supporting the third sector by funding salaries at living wage or above, encouraging the organisations we fund to pay staff a wage that meets the real cost of living.

Building on our membership as an accredited Living Wage Employer, becoming a Friendly Funder builds on our strategic aim to use all our assets to improve the lives of people living in our area of benefit.
