Power2 is delighted to have been accredited as a Living Wage Employer. The Living Wage commitment means we are held accountable to the fact that all staff will continue to receive a minimum hourly wage of £9.30 in the UK or £10.75 in London. Both rates are significantly higher than the government minimum for over 25s, which currently stands at £8.72 per hour.
The real Living Wage is the only rate calculated according to the costs of living. It provides a voluntary benchmark for employers that wish to ensure their staff earn a wage they can live on, not just the government minimum. Since 2011 the Living Wage movement has delivered a pay rise to over 230,000 people and put over £1 billion extra into the pockets of low paid workers.

Julie Randles, CEO, says:
We are delighted to be an accredited Living Wage employer. We work to make sure all young people can reach their potential, and economic disadvantage is a barrier for far too many. We believe passionately that everyone should be paid a wage they can live on – a fair day’s pay for a hard day’s work. We hope that as more companies join this movement it will put pressure on others to do the same, so that fewer of the UK’s young people suffer the impact of living in poverty.
