Title: SWARM Hardship Fund, Support, Advice, Zines and Community Events for SWs
Post by: SWARM on 16 March 2020, 01:11:05 pm
SWARM are running:

Advice & Support Sessions for UK Sex Workers
Last Tuesday of every month, from 6pm. Online.

These sessions are led by SWs as a mutual aid project. We are not professionals giving advice, just a community coming together to share and build knowlegde and help each other.

We can offer help with:

- Doing your tax return or tracking expenses as a self-employed SW
- Registering as self-employed
- Applying for Universal Credit or PIP (Personal Independence Payments)
- Housing or employment
- Getting a non-SW job or exiting sex work
- & more!

Email to ask if you have a specific issue and want to check if we can help. If you have knowledge or skills you'd like to offer as a volunteer at these sessions, please also get in touch!

Register by emailing mutualaid@swarmcollective.org
