Real Living Wage Week runs from 6th to 12th November and is an annual celebration to raise awareness of the benefits of the Real Living Wage.

This celebration follows the announcement that the Real Living Wage will be increasing from £10.90 to £12, outside of London.

As part of our Good Growth approach, the Good Growth Shared Prosperity Fund ensures that all successful projects are committed to the Real Living Wage for their staff. This is one of the ways we can make sure Levelling Up investment contributes to Cornwall and Isles of Scilly in a meaningful way.

Our Good Growth Principles:

• Clean and Green
• Business and Economy
• Equality

Cornwall Council and the Council of the Isles of Scilly are committed to ensuring that projects supported through the Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF) deliver clean and inclusive economic prosperity. That the jobs created are well paid quality jobs, that all of our communities are able to access the opportunities available and that our environment benefits from this economic growth.

To us, Good Growth means moving towards a net zero economy where jobs pay at least the Real Living Wage and strong communities allow everyone to start well, live well and age well.
