The Nanny Solidarity Network provides support and space for collective action for nannies and au pairs across the UK. They began as a solidarity fund during the first lockdown, which left many nannies and au pairs jobless or homeless. They have grown into a worker-led coalition, providing vital services and forming a nation-wide employment rights campaign. They were instrumental in the recent government decision to scrap the Family Worker minimum wage exemption. They have also established the first union branch for nannies and au pairs in the UK. The Community Action Fund will support their part-time Coordinators to continue this work.
