Hi there. These have been running successfully for a long time now.
We are offering breakfasts for sex workers only on Wednesdays, 10am-12noon, from Wednesday 12 March until Wednesday 23 April.
The breakfasts are simply social, for support & solidarity among sex workers! Free coffee & croissants and the chance to socialise with other sex workers :D
There is also the opportunity, if required, to get EFL support/one-to-one custom language help/general conversational skills.
But these breakfasts are open to ALL sex workers! Message me for details xxx
-
I went to the breakfast this morning, it was nice and friendly - good to have a space to meet other people working in the industry and be able to chat. :)
-
Just noticed this now :(
-
It's every week till April 23rd, so maybe next time?
-
Would love to join next time :)

Would love to join next time :)
:) I won't be there next time as I'm off to the seaside for a week, but if you PM darlingnancy she can give you the details!
-
Thankyou sweet jane!
I'm sorry I hadn't checked my messages sooner. I just forgot!
We had another lovely breakfast today. Tea, coffee, croissants, and lots of great conversation about our work. I've messaged you, Swedish, and hope very much to meet you soon.
-
Hello again. Anyone doing any kind of work related to sex (!) is welcome to come for coffee, tea, croissants and more! Some of us may know each other, but at each meet-up there is always someone new. And everyone is always so, so lovely.
There's a huge variety of jobs, ages, and reasons for working. There is zero agenda to these meetings - they are purely for socialising and support. The breakfast is DELICIOUS and it's free. There is seriously no catch.
We meet in East London; message me for more info, and I'm so sorry I didn't check in for my messages last week. I just forgot, but I won't again xxx
-
I'm just posting again to say that these have been going really well, so they will be extended till the end of May - and may possibly be an ongoing event.
Wednesdays, East London, 10am - 12 noon. Message me for the address. Free coffee, tea, and delicious breakfast foods, plus great conversation. Completely confidential safe space, and everyone attending (& hosting!) must be a current sex worker.
Love & croissants - nancy x
-
how do i get more info on this? (adress) xx
-
Pm darling nancy x
-
how do i get more info on this? (adress) xx
Message me for the details, DanielleWilliams - and anyone else who is currently working. The breakfasts are going really well.
I'll make sure I remember to check my messages regularly.
-
Hello all..just another reminder that these are still running, and are going really well. A very good way to start a summer's day!
They will be every Wednesday, 10am - noon (ish), until the last Wednesday in July.
Hope you can make it - message me for the details, or if you have any questions.
-
I'm just sharing this info here as well...
These have been a great success and will run until 30 July.
Free breakfasts (for current sex workers only) are held in East London, every Wednesday from 10am - 12noon.
They're a really great opportunity to socialise with other sex workers and to share resources. Because they've been such a great success (they've been running in some version or another since 2010), they should be running through the autumn as well. :D
It's a really friendly, easy, welcoming space to take part in. Completely confidential, one to one EFL support available if required. Or just a cup of coffee and a croissant!
Message for more details :D
-
Would love to go to something like this but I'm in Essex :(
-
Three more breakfasts...last one is 30 July.
Every Wednesday, 10-12 noon, current sex workers only, very very easy to reach East London location. Free breakfasts and great supportive atmosphere. Breakfasts are confidential, one-to-one EFL support is available....a great space to share tips and resources, or just to have coffee with others who understand what we do!
These have been a great success, have been running in one way or another for a few years now, and should be continuing in the autumn. Watch this space, or message for the address if you want to come to a July breakfast. :D

Is this for women only, or are male sex workers welcome too...?
-
Hi Dan, I went to one of these and it was fantastic and actually about 1/3rd of the company was male, to my surprise :) male escorts, porn stars, strippers... plenty of variety :)
-
That would be fantastic! Unfortunately I have a client at that time on the 30th, but I hope to be able to go when they start running again :)
-
Last breakfast tomorrow everyone!
Dan, looking forward to meeting you next time :)
-
All genders are welcome at the breakfasts - the variety of sex workers who attend surprises me every single time. We are also very transfriendly and there's a zero-tolerance agreement for racism & transphobia.
Having lemon cake again tomorrow. Hope people can make it. I'm not going to even try to end this one on time. They've been running hours over time since March and tomorrow I think we should just embrace it!
Watch this space for info about more breakfasts in the autumn. (And very happy you had a great breakfast, StrawberryFields!) :D

Breakfasts start again next week! :D :D :D 8) :D :D :D
Please note, new time: 11am - 1pm (people were arriving later & later so we've adjusted the time accordingly!)
But the breakfasts are still every Wednesday - same place (East London!) and same arrangement:
-- sex workers only (all types of sex work)
-- free tea and coffee and delicious breakfast
-- confidential space, support and solidarity. Advice and info (if wanted) about working practices and rights, or just an easy place to have a chat and get to meet other sex workers! It's a very friendly, unpressurised environment.
-- all genders welcome/transfriendly
Please text for the address 07757 469533
The breakfasts will run every Wednesday from 3 Sept until 17 Dec.
Hope to see you there - Nancy x
ps for anyone who wants a handhold and to meet with someone beforehand so they can arrive together - this is easy to organise too.

Who wants to go girls? x

Hello
I am relatively new to this and have been doing ok for the last 2 months. I would love to come to your breakfast meetings, I could also bring a friend in need of some advice.
My email address is gserena2014@gmail.com
Thank you.
Serena xx
-
Who wants to go girls? x
anyone who'd like a 'hand-hold', this is very easy - just call from the nearby tube station and someone can come and meet you, if you don't have one or two other people to arrive with.
If it helps, half of the people who come may know one another, but half of the people who come, arrive alone and may never have spoken to another sex worker, and may well have just arrived in the city!
It's a very welcoming breakfast and nothing is asked of you :D

Just putting this in here again - it counts as a 'project' as the breakfasts are supported by xtalk, Sex Worker Open University (SWOU) & Open Doors nhs, amongst others! Would really appreciate the extra signal boost by having a thread in this section.
The breakfasts are free and run by and for sex workers only, and have been running successfully for some time now. All types of sex work, all genders welcome. For support, solidarity, and to know your rights - or just for croissants, toast & coffee.
Every Wednesday 11am - 1pm in East London - message me for the address.
-
...sex worker breakfasts are supported by SWOU & xtalk :-*
you *can* leave your details at breakfast if you want to get involved with SWOU or xtalk, but at least half the people who come don't do this, because the important thing about breakfasts is they are confidential and run autonomously and they take place just for solidarity. You don't even have to give your (fake!) name - just have a coffee & put your feet up in a sex-worker only space.
-
Breakfast is on today!! (I will be elsewhere earning a crust) but quoting Nancies post so we have the contact person for breakfasts on the current page.

Lots of breakfast love xxx

Breakfasts are going really well. They aren't affiliated to Open Doors, Stonewall, SWOU, xtalk, ECP, ClinicQ or anyone else who may recommend or advertise them (the leaflets may be circulated at various places) but we appreciate the support of all these organisations.
Breakfasts are an autonomous space, by and for sex workers and are for just breakfasting (!) (there's no catch!), and they're completely confidential.

it was great to see you :D

Just a quick reminder about breakfasts, every Wednesday. All genders welcome, all types of sex work. Breakfasts are confidential and are run by sex workers. Breakfast and information shared by other sex workers (safety, solidarity, knowing your rights, a chance to talk about work with other sex workers, or a chance to talk about anything but work!)...is all free.
there are usually about 8 to 10 people there. The quietest it's been is 3 of us, but that's very unusual. It's always very relaxed and easy, and there are always new people.
Also, check out the new website made by a breakfaster for us!

Wonderful, inspiring people to meet; if you didn't know, we sex workers are pretty damn cool folk. THANK YOU SO MUCH to the organizers and lovely host :D

Breakfast tomorrow as usual from 11am - 1pm, and then a two week break over xmas before breakfasts continue at the same time, every Wednesday, from 7 Jan.
Tomorrow's breakfast, the last before the two week gap, on Wednesday 17 December, falls on the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. Stay all day (there may be poledancing taking place around you from 1.30, which you are welcome to join in!) and head together to the march and vigil later:
http://prostitutescollective.net/2014/12/02/international-day-end-violence-sex-workers-17-dec/ (http://prostitutescollective.net/2014/12/02/international-day-end-violence-sex-workers-17-dec/)
The space will be open and welcoming to all sex workers from 11am until then. If you want to be certain that only other sex workers will be there, come at the designated breakfast time of 11-1pm. During the afternoon, the space is predominantly sex-worker and entirely 100% in support of sex workers.
If you can't make it tomorrow, have a great holiday and see you in 2015

Oh, I', definitely coming! I'll PM you, darlingdarcy for details in a sec. I didn't see this before, I'm excited ;D

Hurray! Breakfast is always exciting!
There's no breakfast this week or next, but it's only a short break before the breakfasts carry on as usual from 7 Jan. Every Wed, same time, same place. Message me. There's funding for at least another year for these, so you can depend on them being there.
We have lots of leaflets, know your rights info, free condoms etc, safety & solidarity tips, skillsharing. Plus really delicious and plentiful free breakfast. Most of all, it's just a place to be with nobody else but sex workers, which is pretty special. Happy holidays all. x x x Nancy
-
I'd like to go to this tomorrow but I don't know where it is ???
Can anyone PM me?
(I've messaged Darling nancy but I'm not sure that she's checked her mails)
-
Many apologies, I did forget to check my messages, sera_fin. Check your inbox.
I hope very much to meet you soon.
Can I put the link to the little website we've got now? Made by a beautiful breakfaster out of the blue. Here: http://sexworkerbreakfasts.blogspot.co.uk/p/about-sexworker-breakfasts.html (http://sexworkerbreakfasts.blogspot.co.uk/p/about-sexworker-breakfasts.html)
The first breakfast of 2015 last week was very gentle and happy. There have never been less than four people at breakfast, there are new people every week, and the average attendance is about 10 of us. So it's not scary at all. We've got lots of good links, leaflets and resources. Open Doors nhs brought us some really great bits and pieces on Dec 17 too, after breakfast.
And of course, the food is good and plentiful.
Come! You all deserve it.
-
Breakfasts for sex workers are well-attended every week - around 10 people - and always one or two new people, so it never gets cliquey. Very friendly, great way to share safety tips or just to talk shop. Free cafe for sex workers! Great food, great coffee, great conversation. The premises is pretty too.
PM me for more details or check the breakfast thread. Keep warm, people!
-
Other stuff available at breakfast:
free condoms/dams/alarms
Know Your Rights leaflets
benefits/legal/migration advice/leaflets/signposting
EFL support/lessons available
library
zines
Ugly Mugs list or other safety tips/advice/solidarity/signposting to other services (or not!)
latest info/updates about sw groups and their activities - groups like Sex Worker Open University, East London Strippers Collective, English Collective of Prostitutes, Sex Worker Opera
...& much much more
Everyone who attends is free to ignore all of the above, or to ask for more :D
We're a work in progress.
-
hello darlingnancy can you message me the the details and adress pls.

And thanks Tim! I hear really amazing things from people about their experience of coming to breakfast, it's always great to get feedback.
Came to post this very thing - breakfasts are having a week off, but back as usual next Wednesday 15 April, 11am - 1pm. (There won't be another break until late in the summer).
Message me for details. I make sure I check here at least once a week.
Happy Spring & Easterish stuff, people xx

Don't forget everyone - no breakfast tomorrow (8 April). Breakfast from next week, Wed 15 April as usual, 11am - 1pm.
-
Breakfast tomorrow as usual & every Wednesday - see details in previous posts.
-
I have a message from someone asking about breakfasts who can't receive messages (!) so if that's you - change your settings so I can let you know the details!
Just a reminder that the breakfasts are a good infoswap - an exchange of safety tips, buddy link-ups, housing and work advice, we often chat about exiting (and how many of us re-enter) the industry. Counselling and EFL (English as a Foreign Language) support is available on a casual, peer-to-peer basis (I'm qualified to do both, but it's not what I believe in imposing on anyone, so it only comes up if it's asked for). There are often language swaps taking place! There's housing and benefits advice available, or at least signposting to people who may know more than me, and mostly just an exchange of info with whoever's there. There will always be a mix of experienced and new workers, and people doing lots of different types of work in the industry under lots of different circumstances. We all learn from each other. Every week is a surprise and an education :D
We're registered with Ugly Mugs as a project but mostly what we offer is acceptance and somewhere to chat about work and socialise with other workers without having to hide the fact from anyone within earshot!
All genders are welcome.
-
Would love to go if they're still running. Do you get many 20 year olds going?
-
I'm 18, I'm sure there's a good mix of us? I will be there this Wednesday so if any of you want to meet for a coffee or whatever afterwards, PM me! :D
-

I am certain everyone is over 18, but no proof of ID is required...the age range seems pretty broad.
I've messaged you the details.

Thanks for this, victoryrose - I can't guess who you were but I hope you were pleased you made it - the last one was very busy indeed!
-
Just a reminder. The breakfasts are in London, very easy to get to, near the tube, my apologies if I don't message you quickly enough on this site. Just in case, here's a link to the website about the breakfasts, made by a spectacularly lovely breakfaster. It should tell you all you need. I'm happy to help if you have any questions at all.

Dear moderator
I have a few messages about these I need to reply to, but I am unable to send personal messages at the moment - each person I reply to is 'unable to read personal messages'. There must be some blip in the system that I need to know about! Hope someone can help.
In the meantime, just a reminder to those I haven't replied to (so sorry - see above!) that the info is here, so you can still get hold of me and make it today or next week:*
http://sexworkerbreakfasts.blogspot.co.uk/p/about-sexworker-breakfasts.html (http://sexworkerbreakfasts.blogspot.co.uk/p/about-sexworker-breakfasts.html)
*Next week, 29 July, is the last before breaking for the whole of August, and then the breakfasts start up again 2 Sept and will run every week as usual.
Thanks all, especially all those who dropped by and who let others know. This project is a happy success.
-
:) Hi thanks for letting me know your closed in August I was going to pop in next week !!

-
So would I Saucepot but Im Essex too!! Where are you im Clacton x

Travel into town one Wednesday? There are other things going on afterwards too, like pole dance class and sometimes meetings for amazing groups like SWOU. Come!! <3
Sex worker breakfasts are back as usual tomorrow, Wednesday 2 Sept, 11am til 1pm, and every Wednesday. All genders welcome, all types of (current) sex work, lots of solidarity and safety tips and work chat, plus plenty of non-work chat - whatever you feel like.

Looking forward to seeing you again!

I am pretty certain that I've replied to everyone who messaged me; there was a brief blip when for some reason I couldn't reply to messages, but everything is working as normal now. I've double-checked and it looks like everyone who sent a direct message got a reply. My apologies if you didn't, please message me again!
Meanwhile, a lot of the info is here via the website: http://sexworkerbreakfasts.blogspot.co.uk/p/about-sexworker-breakfasts.html
Oh! Another thing. If anyone is able to offer to translate the basic info into any languages other than
Portuguese
Spanish
Mandarin
please say! (I have these three covered). :-* Looking forward to breakfasts every week.

This is just to say:
Breakfasts will continue over the holiday period and there will be no break this December or New Year :D
Breakfasts every Wednesday, 11am - 1pm, details as usual.
Keep warm, love Nancy
-
Come to breakfast today or any Wednesday!
Usually around 10 people. Always one or two new people, never gets too in-crowd-y, hopefully. All genders. All types of sex work. Safety tips shared, and all the things you might not be able to talk about elsewhere, including dissatisfaction with the work/efforts to leave the work or loving the work and wanting to do more of it -- and all the variables in between. Not suitable for anyone who hasn't ever worked as we do not aim to recommend sex work to anyone. Plus signposting and support if you seek any help with domestic violence/landlord/migration/paperwork/advocacy of any sort...ie gender non conformity, references for jobs etc...other projects are asking us all the time why they're closing and we're surviving, and it's because we have lived experience. That said, we aren't here to give advice, only to accept - hopefully - and we're also likely to get a lot wrong, as this isn't a professional service and we make mistakes. No names are taken or asked for and the space aims to be confidential. Again, this isn't guaranteed but it's one of the few conditions of the space.
Any questions, contact me or I'll put you in contact with the co-host as I'm leaving sw and the breakfasts at some point, when possible (all apologies for anything I've got wrong). But breakfast is here for at least the forthcoming year, as they're so established now.

Hi
When are the breakfasts up and running again? Was meaning to attend before the summer break!
Thanks.
-
Hi Ladies!
I would love to come along to one of these breakfasts? I'm new to London & recently gone back to escorting, I find the job cripples any chance of a social life & also the girls I know here, don't know I am an escort, so its rather isolating :( Hope to network and meet some other working girls too! :D xx
-
Just saw this useful thread! Is there any breakfast running maybe weekend?
Am around London area (travel a lot though at Home Counties) so would be cool to meet some and exchange ideas :)
-
Breakfasts are every Wednesday 11am - 1pm in East London.
Thank you very much :)
I'll see if I can make it during the week
-
Hello all.
My apologies for not checking saafe and my message box more often!
Breakfasts take another break after 21 Dec so there are three more including tomorrow. Remember, last breakfast on 21 Dec
PLEASE check the link which gives you all the details. You text my number for the address, but I can't leave my number here as the moderators will have to remove it. Remember, go to the website! it's www.sexworkerbreakfasts.blogspot.co.uk

I checked their website and I do not know whether they are defunct as of this year or if they are still running. Any ladies on here who have attended this year especially recently. Also have they stopped running workshops? Thanks all.
-
Are you talking about London? I think they have stopped 1 year ago, they said they might come back but still no news.
-
I'm a bit late in catching this...Glad it's still running please can you message me the details. ;)
-
Even though the website says it's still on hold this has been running the past few weeks, it's a really great thing to go to so happy to put anyone who's interested in touch with the organisers.
-
Hey
Is the breakfast meet still on ? As i just come across this website :)
xxx sasha xxx
-
yes please put us in touch, some of us do not have anyone who knows about our secret lives, have come across assholes in this industry, out of the industry and could do with a non judgemental and positive meeting space.
-
I would love to participate too, as I just moved to London from another country :)
-
I'm working in London from time to time and I would like to get in touch with you.
-
hey this sounds great! is it still on?
-
Breakfasts are on - we've been slow at updating online, but they're running regularly. For & by sex workers, every Wednesday in Bethnal Green, London, from 12-3pm. Confidential space with food, hot coffee, support & chat. Condoms, 1-step pregnancy tests, harm reduction supplies, info on your rights/the law, all free. Text 07413109100 for details/address. x

Breakfast is having a break over Christmas & New Year - last week was the last breakfast until the 10th of January (2nd Wednesday of the new year). There'll be no breakfast today, but after this break they'll be running again every week.

Just to confirm that we are on every Wednesday including throughout the Christmas/New Year period!

Tell your pals & other workers, see you there!
-
Thanks to a very generous donation from one of our community we will also have some little beauty & skincare gifts for everyone who comes along too! 😍
-
Does anyone know the exact address for tomorrow's meeting?
Thanks
-
You need to contact them directly (see their previous posts for contact details) and they will tell you.
PS. Hope you're well :)
-
Hi, I sent a text on Monday to your contact number as I'm interested in coming but have not heard back yet?
-
Sent you a pm with the info Angelina :)
Will get back to texts now, apologies to anyone waiting for a reply - we don't do this fulltime so sometimes there will be a delay in responding.
I'm well thanks Miffy! Hope you're good too!
Dont think i mentioned yet that I'm a new facilitator btw, so if anyone comes along and feels confused they dont recognise me... That's why!
Ps - one of our attendees is cooking vegan oat pancakes tomoz and they sound delicious! We also have gluten free bread & lactose free and plant based milk - if you are worried about dietary requirements just message ahead of time and we'll do our best to accomodate!
-
Could you please take the giant signature down a notch? There's really no need for it to include most of the information you're putting in your posts anyway and I'm sure you'd rather edit it yourself than have me do it :)
Also, when you say this is in a 'space', does this mean it's outdoors or partly outdoors?
-
Sorry, amended - bit overzealous trying to get the new contact details in front of people.
No, it's indoors although there is a garden it's unlikely we'll be setting up anything outdoors in winter - it's a community space like the ones run before it
-
No problem - I think we just understand the word 'space' to mean different things.
By all means stick the phone number or whatever in your signature since you're here to promote an event, it just doesn't need the rest :)
-
Just a reminder that breakfasts are still on tomorrow!
Food, tea & coffee, condom pick&mix, lingerie & clothing to borrow, take or swap for something you no longer need, chat & support in a relaxed, social, sober community-led space.
Every Wednesday 11am - 2pm
E1 London - NEW LOCATION
Please observe CoVID safety by completing a lateral flow/PCR test before attending/upon arrival (we can provide these), wearing a mask, socially distancing and using provided hand sanitiser. If you have symptoms, please don't attend.

Breakfasts are on tomorrow :) get in touch for location.
If you work with other swers we've got a flyer that can be shared on twitter - https://twitter.com/ldnswb/status/1475953710396325888 and there are printed copies at breakfast you can take to put up in the staff area in your workplace.
We've got LFTs, makeup and toiletries, lingerie and clothes, condoms, sponges and other bits if you need em! Also, there is a computer in a private space with internet access for anyone who needs to update sites/ads or do any other kind of admin as we all know how annoying mobile browsers can be.
We are hoping to begin running regular drop in clinics with a nurse too, which means we would also have std testing, covid, hep b & flu vaccines, assistance with gp appointments amongst other things available - if this would be of interest to you please let us know in person at breakfast or by email/message/dm to the details posted above so we can get the ball rolling.
I realise also i hadnt mentioned accessibility - the space is all on the ground floor and wheelchair access can be arranged as long as you text at least a few minutes ahead of arriving. Can't go into too much detail in case a nosy client recognises the venue from the description so for any other requirements get in touch for more info.
-
Hey lovely people, just to let you all know breakfasts will be running from 11am-3pm from this Wednesday 12th onwards! All the info is above :)
-
Breakfasts are on again this week!
We also now have an instagram - sw_breakfasts
-
We're still on this week! Info above. Got lots of lovely donations of new knickers, leggings and socks and loads of makeup too now!
A few people have asked about why we're still requiring everyone who attends to do an LFT now that it's no longer required by the government. This isn't something we decided to do because of government requirements, but in order to look after each other. None of us get sick pay and if anyone gets covid they aren't able to work, so we will continue to ask everyone to do a test and not come if they have any symptoms for the forseeable. We don't require attendees to have been vaccinated and have spare LFTs you can use on arrival if you're unable to get one beforehand :)

SW BREAKFASTS are on today and every wednesday!
