In April 2017, new UK legislation came into force for all organisations that employ more than 250 employees, requiring them to report annually on their Gender Pay Gap.

The Gender Pay Gap is different to the Equal Pay Gap, and is defined as the difference in the average hourly rates of male and female employees, regardless of their role or seniority in an organisation. The results from our reports are expressed as a percentage, which is representative of the Gender Pay Gap between our male and female employee’s average hourly rates.

In line with the legislation, our results will be available on the gov.uk website, as well as the Pilgrims Hospices public website and internal staff intranet.

We also have a range of volunteer opportunities available for anyone who would like to donate their time to support Pilgrims.
