Funding for decent work

Under this priority area we have three impact goals. These are the changes we want to see in London by 2030. We want to fund work that moves towards these three goals:

1. Improving access to rights for all workers

We want to see a system of employment justice that ensures that all workers have access to decent pay, dignified conditions and can seek remedy when needed.

Under this goal we'll fund strategic legal action and worker-led campaigns and organising.

2. Increasing jobs that provide decent pay and conditions

We want more jobs in London to pay, as a minimum, the real London Living Wage and to come with dignified working conditions.

Under this goal we'll fund campaigns, organising, research and policy work that is focused on increasing jobs that provide decent pay and conditions in London.

We’re especially keen to fund projects that allow organisations to have a collective voice – such as partnerships between a collection of organisations to work together and influence policy.

3. Ensuring that worker experiences inform technological advancements

We want the introduction of technology and artificial intelligence in workplaces to be informed by the experiences of low-paid workers.

Under this goal we'll fund a variety of work that helps ensure workers' experiences inform the roll-out of technology and AI, including campaigns and research.

Across all three goals, we want to fund more organisations where the leadership team is more reflective of the communities they serve.

• Work that supports routes into employment.
• Work that focuses on careers advice, employability training or further education.
• Progression out of low paid work that doesn’t involve work with employers.
• Work that doesn’t benefit low-paid Londoners.
• Individual employment advice and casework that is not connected with strategic legal or policy work.
