Our Charitable Objectives:
- To promote the protection of people from, and the prevention of, sexual crime.
- To promote the rehabilitation of persons who have committed or who are likely to commit sexual offences against others.
Our Living Wage commitment will see everyone working at the Safer Living Foundation receive a minimum hourly wage of £9.90 in the UK, significantly higher than the government minimum for over 23s, which currently stands at £9.50 per hour.
