flag Two Welsh councils earn Real Living Wage accreditation, boosting pay to £13.45/hr to fight in-work poverty.

flag Monmouthshire and Vale of Glamorgan councils in Wales have both been accredited as Real Living Wage employers, raising pay to £13.45 per hour—above the UK’s statutory rate—to reflect the true cost of living. flag The move, part of a broader effort since 2022, aims to reduce in-work poverty and support staff wellbeing. flag Only five of Wales’s 22 councils are now accredited, with leaders and advocates praising the step as vital for tackling inequality and building sustainable local economies. flag Both councils are assessing how to maintain the higher wage amid a recent 7% increase.
