The Living Wage Foundation is a campaigning organisation in the United Kingdom which aims to persuade employers to pay a living wage. The organisation was established in 2011, publishes an annual Living Wage figure and for a fee accredits employers who pay at the rate of the “living wage”. From 15 November 2021, the living wage rate or "real living wage" is £9.90 per hour outside London and £11.05 per hour within London. Increases to £10.90 outside London and £11.95 inside London were announced on 22 September 2022, with the Living Wage Foundation expecting member employers to implement the increase "as soon as possible but by the latest 14th May 2023". The BBC reported in September 2022 that there are 11,000 businesses who are accredited by the Foundation.
