The Living Wage and Fair Work in West Yorkshire

Join the Living Wage Foundation and the West Yorkshire Fair Work Charter for Living Wage Week 2025.

Hosted at Aspire in Leeds city centre, the event is the first of its kind in West Yorkshire. It will be a chance to celebrate the almost 400 accredited Living Wage Employers across the region. We will be joined by Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire, and hear from panel discussions on the benefits of the Living Wage and the work of the West Yorkshire Fair Work Charter.

Refreshments and a light lunch will be provided, and there will be time for informal networking and discussion.

It would be great to have you join us – please register now, as places are limited.

The venue is located in central Leeds, with Leeds railway station and bus stops close by. Transport and parking information can be found on the venue website. The venue is accessible, but please do make us aware of any additional access or support needs when you sign up, so we can be sure to accommodate them.

If you have any concerns or wish to opt out, please speak to a member of the event team.
