We’re thrilled to announce that Borough Market has been awarded the Living Wage Champion Award for our commitment to advancing the real Living Wage within the hospitality sector. We’ve been recognised for being a leader within the sector, setting a new standard for employee welfare within the communities in which we operate, and promoting the Living Wage in both our supply chains and the wider sector as a whole. We became a Living Wage employer in 2016 which, as a charity, is a hugely important part of our purpose in the local community. Our CEO, Jane Swift, is enthusiastically leading the charge through her work with the Southwark Action Group and Southwark Council’s Living Wage Places Steering Group. Jane’s passion and ability to inspire others is evident in all she does and her vision for the community is embedded in the Market's 2030 strategy. Over the last 18 months, we've been advocating the benefits of becoming Living Wage accredited to our network of more than 130 businesses, encouraging all traders and tenants to become accredited. You can read more about our commitment to social and economic sustainability in our Food Policy and find out what being Living Wage accredited means to our traders here: https://lnkd.in/gSfDySsK #LivingWageChampions Living Wage Foundation

About us
Borough Market is a source of quality British and international produce, but it is more than just a place to buy or sell food. It’s a place where people come to connect, to share food and awaken their senses. Borough has long been synonymous with food markets and as far back as 1014, and probably much earlier, London Bridge attracted traders selling grain, fish, vegetables and livestock. In the 13th century traders were relocated to what is now Borough High Street and a market has existed there ever since. Borough Market’s mission is to continue to provide a world class food market at Borough for the community of London and beyond. Borough Market is the only fully independent market in London. It is owned by a charitable trust and run by a board of volunteer trustees. The trust is committed to supporting the local community around Borough Market. We regularly run community events, free cookery demonstrations and we support local community projects and schemes. #LoveBorough @Boroughmarket

Last week we hosted our Young Marketeers Summer sale, in partnership with School Food Matters. Students from local schools became market traders for the day, selling school-grown fruit and veg. 👩🌾 The students raised £595 for Plan Zheroes - The Zero Food Waste Heroes, a charity that stops surplus food from going to waste, and gets it to those that really need it. 💚
