Why do you support the Living Wage?
Lotus's CEO and trustees recognise that the National (Living) Wage does not take into account the cost of living. We believe that our valued staff - and all people - should not have have to work multiple jobs to make ends meet as it forces them to spend less time with their families, lowers their quality of life, makes them less productive at work and damages their physical and mental health. We realise we need to embody the changes we want to see in the world. Taking a stand will put pressure on other charities, businesses and government to do the same.
