Last week, ‘Making London Work for All’ launched to further tackle low pay and insecure work across the capital
Bishop Rosemarie co-chaired the ‘Making London Work for All’ Steering Group, led by Citizens UK and the Living Wage Foundation, which aims to lift those in the capital out of in-work poverty and to tackle precarious work via the Living Wage, the Living Hours and the Living Pension accreditation.
Bishop Rosemarie says “I’m humbled and proud to co-chair this committee dedicated to London’s workers and to making London work for all.”
The first phase of the project, ‘Making London a Living Wage City’, ran from September 2021 to August 2025. Led by local communities, it doubled the number of Living Wage Employers in the capital over four years, secured 70,308 pay rises nationally through London-headquartered employers, and generated a total of £628m in economic value for London.
The Diocese of Southwark received the Living Wage accreditation in 2014.
