Crystal Palace Football Club has been formally accredited as a Living Wage employer by the Living Wage Foundation.
Katherine Chapman, Director of the Living Wage Foundation, said: "It's fantastic that Crystal Palace has joined Everton, Chelsea, West Ham and Liverpool and become an accredited Living Wage employer. This commitment means that one quarter of Premier League clubs are now accredited and pay all staff - from cleaners to stewards - a wage that truly covers the cost of living. I congratulate Crystal Palace and hope more Premier League clubs to follow their lead this season."
Steve Parish, Crystal Palace chairman, said: “We recognise the contribution of all our full-time and matchday staff members, and fully support the campaign to pay all employees a wage that reflects the true cost of living in London.
