Please help me win an award

My day job involves running a social research centre which sets the UK Living Wage


We've been nominated for an award which recognises how we use social research to achieve real social impact. This involves providing hard evidence of what people need in order to live at an acceptable minimum standard. Hundreds of employers are using this benchmark when setting wages.

The award is by public vote. Please vote here.

And when pedalling to Paris, you may reflect on the fact that our minimum living standard does include a week's modest holiday a year - on a budget that would include L2P if you camp. So all credit to Living Wage employers who recognise that for an adequate life, you need not just to survive but to live.
