One of our customers has had a very festive couple of week with the support of our Independent Lives team! 🎄

He had a lovely visit to a Christmas fair where he enjoyed walking around all the shops and looking at different decorations and festive scenes, with the woodland scene being his stand out favourite! 😊

And this week, he enjoyed a delicious Christmas buffet at his regular bowling group 🎳

Merry Christmas! 💚

Fair Pay Consultation – Have Your Say

The Government is proposing Fair Pay Agreements for adult social care, setting minimum standards for pay, conditions, and training.

Leading Lives is aligned to the principles of Real Living Wage, and we undertake regular annual pay reviews where we benchmark our pay with other providers.

We are supportive of Fair Pay for all in social care, but for this to be achievable we will need to see central and local government pay providers better for the services we deliver so we can invest in higher pay and improved conditions and achieve higher staffing costs.

You can respond to the consultation and share your views directly with the Government. Visit: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/fair-pay-agreements-in-adult-social-care before 29 January 2026.
