National Homeworking Projects in the UK

• These groups offer information, advice and support to people in their area who are doing outwork or making enquiries about outwork. They are not employment agencies so do not give out the names and addresses of companies which use outworkers.

• The National Group on Homeworking (NGH) is a campaign and lobbying organisation. They are the only national non-governmental organisation (NGO) in the UK, working solely on homeworking issues. In addition to campaigning for improvements in the pay and conditions of existing Homeworkers, they can provide advice and guidance to potential Homeworkers on how to look for work to do at home.

• NGH is a voluntary sector project which employs a small team of workers. They have limited resources and are currently funded by the National Lottery.

• NGH is not an Employment Agency. They are not in a position to find Homework for people. They do not hold lists of legitimate homeworking companies and cannot put you in touch with an employer. NGH say that in their knowledge their is no such thing as a directory of companies offering genuine homework.

• National Group on Homeworking can be found at www.gn.apc.org/homeworking/ or NGH, Office 26, 30-38 Dock Street, Leeds LS10 1JF

• If you secure genuine homework, you may wish to contact a local homeworking project which can give advice and guidance to homeworkers in their area.
