Our impact goals
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 employment rights advice and strategic legal action.
Find out more about what we want to fund under this goal.
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.
Find out more about what we want to fund under this goal.
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.
Advice funding
Our funding for advice work will priortise projects with the greatest potential for impact. We're also looking for ways to fund advice plus work, that provides people with employment legal advice as well as organisations having experience in influencing policy.
We’re prioritising funding for:
- established advice services with proven outcomes
- organisations combining advice with strategic legal or policy work
- areas lacking existing employment advice provision.
What we won't fund
- Work that supports routes into employment, including CV support or employability projects.
- Work that focuses on careers advice, employability training or further education.
- Progression out of low paid work that does not involve work with employers.
- Work that does not benefit low-paid Londoners.
