The weekend turns 100 in May. Help the 4 Day Week Foundation fund their anniversary campaign sprint through May.
100 years ago, workers won the weekend. Now it's time for the next great shift.
On 1 May 1926, workers began switching from working six days a week to five. 100 years on, we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to win the next leap forward: a four-day working week for all.
In the last few years, we've proved it - the four-day week works.
Some of our wins in the last year:
1. More than 200,000 UK workers switch to four-day week since 2019
2. 100% success rate on our latest four-day week pilot
3. Over 255 companies accredited
4. The first local council permanently adopted a four-day week
5. 1,000+ media hits across national outlets
6. 40+ workplace and sector-wide campaigns were supported
The 4 Day Week Foundation has led the UK's national campaign for a four-day week: supporting hundreds of organisations and tens of thousands of workers to make the shift, running national pilots and building a movement that brings together workers and employers.
Now, trade unions are on board. Employers are listening. Workers are organising.
Why this month matters
We need to raise at least £10,000 to fund our anniversary campaign sprint through May. Your donation will help us to:
A century ago, the idea of a two-day weekend seemed radical. Now, it’s standard. The four-day week is the same fight - and we're closer than ever.
Donate today and help us make the four-day week the new normal.
