COMMUNITY BITS AND BOBS CHARITY BOX #3: CTLA What’s CTLA stand for? Community Transport for the Lewes Area. Who is the service for? Anyone who is unable to access other forms of transport. There’s a common misconception that this only applies to disabled people or the elderly, but lots of areas around Lewes don’t run bus services, or services don’t operate at certain times of day. How many vehicles do you have? 18. And how many members? Around 3,850. Where do you take people? We operate in four main strands: our dial-a-ride service, group hire for other not-for-profit organisations, a limited number of scheduled bus services, including the Lewes Town Sunday Service which is supported with funding from Lewes Town Council, and Lewes Travel Club, which takes our members on trips out. You have to pay but it’s effectively subsidised when you compare the cost with other door-to-door services. What kinds of trips out? All sorts – short days, long days. We might go for afternoon tea somewhere, or to a garden centre. But the most popular trip is the ‘mystery tour’ where the passengers don’t know where they’re going. How can people get involved? We’re running an initiative called ‘Working Together’, reaching out to local community groups, parishes and district councils to find out how we can help meet their transport needs. Anybody interested is welcome to come along to our next meeting on July 1st, just contact us for details. RC ctla.org.uk LEWES FOR A LIVING WAGE What is the Living Wage? First it’s important to understand what the government ‘living wage’ is. That’s what they’re calling the minimum wage now, and it’s £7.20, but only if you’re over 25. Which, of course, has led to lots of companies hiring staff who are younger than 25 and paying them lower rates. So how much should people be paid? The real Living Wage – reflecting the basic cost of living in the UK – is calculated annually for the Living Wage Foundation. Their latest figure (outside London) is £8.25, starting at age 18. So who are you and what do you do? We are a group of locals outraged to find four food banks in Lewes, and over 20% of children living in poverty. We decided to persuade more companies in the town to pledge to pay the real living wage. We think this is also good for employers – because it helps instil loyalty and increases stability, good for the local economy – because workers will have more money to spend around town, and good for the workers - because they will be able to afford a decent life. How many companies have signed up? At the moment it’s around 20, and counting. We’ve put on a couple of events that spread the word, and we’re planning more, as well as a ten-minute film we should have ready by next Living Wage Week in November. Great! How can you sign up? All the information you need is at leweslivingwage.blogspot.co.uk – or phone 01273 470940. You can join the national organisation at livingwage.org.uk or Brighton (a Living Wage city) at livingwagebrighton.co.uk. AL 13
