“Helping those who have experienced homelessness & rough sleeping rebuild their lives takes community." Read about the launch of a community-led accommodation project in Leigh on Sea as part of our partnership with @salvationarmyuk 👇🏽 citizensuk.org/about-us/news/… @CitizensEssex
NEWS: Students completing our award-winning Democracy In Action module are contributing to real change in the local community. Led by @RebeccaWarrenDr with @CitizensUK students have been working with local organisations to have an immediate impact: essex.ac.uk/news/2022/07/2…
Thank you @BupaUK for accepting our letter and gifts today! We at @CitizensUK look forward to meeting with you to discuss paying #LivingWage4SocialCare to care workers and all others paid below the Real Living Wage!
How much longer should care workers juggle the demands of life on low pay? 🤹 Enough is enough. That's why we are outside @Barchester_care calling on them to commit to paying staff a real #LivingWage. #LivingWage4SocialCare
"I’ve seen colleagues leave the industry because they simply cannot live off the low wages we receive, even though they love their jobs." - Annalibera, Citizens UK leader and care worker in London. We need care workers and care workers need a real wage. #LivingWage4SocialCare
Working together for #LivingWage4CareWorkers today and asking CareUK to meet with us to discuss how paying #LivingWage will lessen staff turnover & help staff not to depend on food banks. @CitizensUK @LivingWageUK @ColCit

Our students are back from the break and enthusiastic to work on some incredibly important campaigns with @ColCit. I am excited to share more as their plans unfold.
Missed our #LivingWageWeek action at @colchfbank today? Watch back at fb.watch/9l1xS5XNik/ and hear Cllr Paul Dundas, leader of @Your_Colchester pledge to work with us for fair wages. @CitizensEssex @CitizensUK @LivingWageUK
Gathered in @colchfbank with @ColCit reps from multiple organisations onsite & online to celebrate #RealLivingWage & push it forward. Hearing care worker stories is a powerful incentive to keep campaigning. Also our venue: a #Foodbank longing to close due to lack of demand!
