In celebration of Real Living Wage Week, I’m sharing why Sprouts of Bristol is committed to paying our team the Real Living Wage. From my personal experiences growing up in a working-class family to the sacrifices we’ve made as a small business, fair pay has always been at the heart of what we do. This post explores the importance of fair wages, how it impacts our amazing team, and why we believe it’s vital for a stronger, more sustainable future.

We have launched our first (hopefully monthly) ‘Letter from the Founder’ blog post. I talk about a string of bad luck, from water gushing from various ceilings in my life to a break-in, and also reflect on the incredible work we have done to win two awards earlier this year. I look ahead to what’s coming up in August, projects we are working on with our clients, and some thoughts about the rest of the year. And I give an insight into my brain, why I am who I am and why I’m so thankful for all the opportunities, passion and excitement that running Sprouts has given me as a founder and as a woman.
