EastSide Partnership, through the Scaffolding Project, has launched the Living Wage Campaign for east Belfast, with the ambition to make east Belfast a Living Wage Place.

EastSide Partnership’s Scaffolding Project is made up of 10 community organisations working together to provide practical support to people impacted by poverty. Since 2017, the project has provided Holiday Hunger and School Uniform Recycling programmes. The project is now looking at ways to break the cycle of poverty by reducing levels of low pay in the area through the Living Wage Campaign for east Belfast.

We are delighted to announce that EastSide Partnership has become accredited as a Living Wage Employer. Our Living Wage commitment will see everyone working at EastSide Partnership receive a minimum hourly wage of £9.90, significantly higher than the government minimum for over 23s, which currently stands at £9.50 per hour.

EastSide Partnership, supported by Belfast City Council, is getting ready for EastSide July Weekender – a series of family friendly outdoor events taking place at C.S Lewis Square, Thursday 7^th – Saturday 9^th July.

EastSide Arts Festival celebrates its 10th birthday this summer, 4th–14th August and everyone is invited!

Packed full of unique, exciting events, festival goers will enjoy music, theatre, film, literature, walks, talks & tours, comedy & cabaret, family focused and community events for all ages.
