What We Do / UK Projects
Northern Homeworking Project
We want homeworkers to be heard. We want to hear from you.
The Northern Homeworking Project was established in January 2010 to explore the nature of homeworking in the UK, focusing primarily on Northern England.
The project is mapping the kinds of work women are doing at home and identifying their main concerns. We are addressing different kinds of homework including 'own-account work' (working for yourself) as well as 'dependent homework' (working for another person or business). Some of the problems homeworkers in the UK face include low pay, irregular work and a complicated benefits system.
We are working to provide a voice for UK homeworkers, and through campaigning and lobbying together with homeworkers we hope to ensure this voice is heard by policy makers.
The Northern Homeworking Project also provides information on some of the key issues facing homeworkers in the UK. We want to make sure homeworkers know their rights and our fact sheets can be downloaded here.
