Paid work plays a vital part in lifting people out of poverty.
All workers deserve decency, to have their rights respected and to be paid a living wage. But in London it can be hard to find a job that’s secure, pays fairly and leads to better things.
We support groups pushing for better work for everyone, whether by building people’s skills and experience, campaigning for higher wages or ending discrimination.
