Living Wage Week

Sobus logo

Living Wage Week: 1st – 7th November

Next week is Living Wage Week and Sobus is proud to announce that it has become a London Living Wage employer. Financially it is a difficult time for voluntary sector organisations and staffing costs are usually be the largest area of expenditure so why are more and more organisations signing up to paying the London Living Wage:

GOOD FOR FAMILIES
The Living Wage affords people the opportunity to provide for themselves and their families.

50% of employees felt that the Living Wage had made them more willing to implement changes in their working practices; enabled them to require fewer concessions to effect change; and made them more likely to adopt changes more quickly.

GOOD FOR SOCIETY
The Living Wage campaign was launched in 2001 by parents in East London, who were frustrated that working two minimum wage jobs left no time for family life.

The causes of poverty are complex and in order to improve lives there should be a package of solutions across policy areas. The Living Wage can be part of the solution.

GOOD FOR BUSINESS
An independent study examining the business benefits of implementing a Living Wage policy in London found that more than 80% of employers believe that the Living Wage had enhanced the quality of the work of their staff, while absenteeism had fallen by approximately 25%. Two thirds of employers reported a significant impact on recruitment and retention within their organisation.

Conference on engaging men with health

On People First Logo

Healthworks are hosting a conference Engaging men for gender equality on 28th October from 10am till 4.30pm in Kensington and Chelsea, although residents and professionals from all 3 boroughs may attend – full details here.

 

 

Men, on average, visit the GP 20% less than women, and younger men visit the GP half as often as younger women. Men are generally poor users of primary care. They are less likely to access other health services such as dentists, pharmacists, health trainers, smoking cessation services, weight management and contraception services.*

Women have higher GP consultation rates for a wide range of illnesses. Men use hospital A&E departments more often than women, suggesting that men wait till a crisis before seeking help.*

Link Up Service Hammersmith and Fulham

open age logo

 

 

 

Link Up Service Hammersmith and Fulham:

Link Up is a one-to-one signposting service Open Age offer local over 50s who need a little extra help to enable them to access activities, groups and services locally.
If you, a friend, relative or neighbour are over 50 and looking for a physical, creative or social group locally but don’t know how to go about finding this, this service is the ideal way to find an activity that can work for you. The process begins with a referral. This can be made via a health team, community worker, friend or the person themselves. Our Open Age Link Up worker Elizabeth Goldrick will arrange to visit you in your home and, based on your interests and needs, suggest groups and activities locally. She will tell you about the Open Age classes (a wide range of physical, social and creative sessions, all held in community venues and usually cost £1 per hour). She can also let you know about other local groups and services that might be beneficial.

Elizabeth will help with practical things -completing membership forms and explaining class locations. If transport needs to be arranged Elizabeth will help in completing Dial-a-Ride forms. For the first class Elizabeth can accompany you to the session. Elizabeth will visit up to three times and continue to check in by phone to see if you’ve continued to attend the group or, if not, can see what needs to be arranged to enable them to attend or find an alternative group.
Elizabeth is friendly, informative and here to help; to receive the referral form or have further queries you can contact her at the Open Age main Office: 020 8962 4141 or by email: egoldrick@openage.org.uk
