More than 300,000 workers are set to receive a pay rise after higher rates were announced for the Real Living Wage, a voluntary rate paid by thousands of employers.
The new hourly rate will be £9.90 across the UK, except in London where it rises to £11.05 - increases of 20p and 40p respectively.
The Living Wage Foundation, which sets the rates, said almost 9,000 employers across the nation now pay the wage, which is higher than the statutory National Living Wage of £8.91 an hour for adults, which will rise to £9.50 in April.
