The Centre for Progressive Change writes:
The Safe Sick Pay Campaign brings together faith organisations, including the Bishop of London, health organisations like Mind and Macmillan, and businesses and business groups like Legal & General to make the case for Statutory Sick Pay reform.
Currently 10 million employees only get £116 a week of Statutory Sick Pay or less if they fall sick. This leaves families unable to make ends meet, and causes many to end up in poverty.
If you are a supporter of sick pay reform, it would be great to have your church involved in the Campaign. In Milton Keynes we have involved organisations including the Newport Pagnell Baptist Church, MK Autism, Trubys Garden Team Room, among others.
If you would like more information or would like to be a part of the campaign please email Amanda Walters, Director of the Centre for Progressive Change, at amanda.walters@centreforprogressivechange.org.
