Lambeth is proud to be a London Living Wage employer, with all staff and 99 per cent of its contracts all paying the rate at a minimum.

The council are committed to encouraging businesses in the borough to also become accredited, and the council-owned International House became the UK’s first Living Wage Building in April 2019.

Lambeth are running a business rates rebate scheme to support local businesses who register with the Living Wage Foundation for the first time in the 2019/20 financial year. Businesses will receive a rebate equal in value to twice the registration cost. The scheme is capped, so interested businesses should apply soon to ensure they benefit
