Celebrating Fair Pay in Bolton: Join Us for Living Wage Week
Living Wage Week is nearly here — and Bolton is ready to celebrate the employers who are making work work for everyone.
We’re proud to invite you to our upcoming event:
Living Wage in Greater Manchester – The Difference It Makes
🗓️ Wednesday12th November 2025
🕦 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM
📍 The Wellsprings, Bolton
🎟️ Reserve your free ticket
Why It Matters
The Real Living Wage is more than a number — it’s a commitment to fairness, dignity, and opportunity. Unlike the government’s minimum wage, it’s based on what people actually need to live. Across Greater Manchester, employers are stepping up to pay it because they know it’s good for their staff, their business, and their community.
At this event, we’ll celebrate Bolton employers who’ve made that commitment — and explore how becoming an accredited Living Wage Employer is a key step toward joining the Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter, a regional movement for better jobs and fairer workplaces.
