The event, kindly hosted by Oldham Council in their library's beautiful performance space, will be a chance to celebrate the 800+ Living Wage Employers in our City Region who have made a public commitment to fair pay, and are raising the bar for what decent work looks like in our region.

  • Martha Crawford, Assistant Director, Living Wage Foundation
  • Living Wage Employers and workers from around GM
