Going Beyond: Living Hours & Living Pensions information session May 6th 10:00AM
The Living Wage, Living Hours and Living Pension accreditations are a practical way to help tackle in-work and post-work poverty and support your employees to thrive. They are the marks of a responsible employer, demonstrating an ongoing commitment to do the right thing by your employees.
Low pay, insufficient hours and unpredictable shift patterns are the key drivers of in work poverty. Our Living Hours accreditation guarantees workers with contracts that reflect hours worked, at least sixteen hours a week, and with at least four weeks’ shift notice. Millions in the UK face poverty in retirement.
The Living Pension accreditation provides an independently calculated benchmark for Living Wage Employers to provide workers with security and stability both in-work and in retirement. Come along to find out more about both schemes and get your questions answered. You will hear from the team on how the schemes were developed, the criteria for accreditation and how the process works. There will then be plenty of time for questions in an informal setting, allowing our team to address any queries you may have.

Belfast - Celebrating 25 Years of the Living Wage Campaign
25th March 2026 10.30am - 12pm
Ormeau Baths
Join Living Wage NI to celebrate 25 years of this extraordinary movement, hear from some of the early organisers, and local Living Wage employers – and most importantly, we want you to bring your ideas on how to continue to grow the movement here.
In 2001, in the City of London, faith leaders, union members and teachers staged a bold action in a major bank to demand a real Living Wage. That spark ignited a grassroots movement which, 25 years on, has created real change for workers across the UK. Over 16,000 employers now commit to the real Living Wage, returning £4.2 billion to low‑paid workers, delivering nearly half a million pay rises, and helping lift minimum wage rates.
The backbone of the campaign is thousands of SMEs, but it also unites FTSE 100 companies, Premier League clubs, and household names like IKEA.
In Northern Ireland, more than 200 local employers have signed up to pay the real Living Wage – yet low pay remains a challenge.
