We
are: some individuals and businesses in Lewes, and the Town
Council, who want Lewes to be a Living Wage Town.
We
started in September 2014 writing to newspapers about wages in Lewes,
after one of us discovered a care home in which only the minimum wage
was being paid to some carers for 12 hour shifts. We also found
that York and Brighton & Hove are Living Wage Cities.

We
have had major support from Andrew Bird of Silverado Contemporary
Jewellery, the Labour Party, the Green Party and Lewes Town Council,
who have supported us with a grant. More recently, we have started to work more closely with Lewes Chamber of Commerce.
We
have affiliated to the Living Wage Foundation and we work closely
with Living Wage Brighton and Hove
