What it offers

The ALEX project has been created BY SWers, FOR SWers. ALEX stands for Advocate with Lived EXperience.  We work with current or former sex workers who are based in the UK.

 As current and former SWers ourselves, we understand how problematic it can be using services run by people outside of the community. Stigma, privacy issues, and a desire to ‘save’ us from our work are just some of the things we can come up against, whilst trying to access basic things like healthcare and supplies. By asking to speak to ALEX when making contact with a Spectra service, you will be directed to a member of the SW community.  

You can reach out to the ALEX project directly via our social media or email. You can also visit The ALEX Project website: www.askforalex.org.uk 

You don’t have to tell us your real name.  

 

Outreach  

We run weekly drop-ins across the Alex Project boroughs- Richmond, Wandsworth, Lewisham, Southwark, and Lambeth where we can offer supplies, signposting, or even just a chat.  

We also currently run online wellbeing and topic sessions. Wellbeing sessions focus on self-care practices such as breathwork and art. Topic sessions cover a wide selection of issues we may face, such as work-life balance and safety.  

We are always open to feedback from our SWer community so please feel free to give us your own ideas for our topic or wellbeing sessions.
