Life in London is prohibitively, damagingly expensive.
And we have evidence: our research tells us that it costs between 15% and 60% more to reach a decent standard of living in London compared with the rest of the UK.
We’re determined to bring the cost of living down in the UK’s capital by supporting groups working to boost incomes, bring down expenses and end unacceptable levels of child poverty.
What we're working on
-
Commission on Social Security
The Commission on Social Security brings together people who’ve actually lived on benefits to suggest what a better social welfare system could look like.
-
The Minimum Income Standard London
The Minimum Income Standard (MIS) is a measure of what a person needs to earn in order to reach an acceptable standard of living. We fund Loughborough University to carry out research into the minimum income needed for a decent standard of living in London.
