PAY IT FORWARD &
COMMUNITY CARE PROJECT
Join us in making an impact today.
Our Community Care Fund (CCF) supports our studio and gives back directly to our community. There are multiple ways to contribute, and the fund is used in several meaningful ways to make classes more accessible and support community initiatives.
Any profits from our $picy $tyle Sunday classes, as well as 50% of all profits from sales of our Exotic Cancer Key Chains, Stickers, and Pins, go directly to the CCF. Additionally, any Pay It Forward donations are also directed to this fund.
We use the CCF to subsidise and fund affordable or free classes for those who need it, including low-income students and sex workers. The fund also supports broader community initiatives, including quarterly donations to Decrim4Scotland and NUMbrella to advocate for the decriminalisation of sex work and fair workers’ rights.
Contributions are entirely optional and can be made at any time. Every donation goes directly toward helping someone participate in our classes, regardless of their circumstances, removing financial barriers, and creating a space where everyone can move, connect, and thrive.
It’s our way of keeping the circle of support moving: you give, we put it into action, and together we make our community stronger, more inclusive, and full of care.
Read on to find out how you can get involved or take advantage of our CCF.
WHY GIVE &
WHAT YOU'RE SUPPORTING
Uplifting Someone Who Needs it Most
Your donation or class booking directly supports students in our community start or continue their practice & be a part of a community in times of financial hardship.
Because no one should have to miss out
Building a Culture of Care
More than just about money, this is about creating a culture of care, where every act of kindness has a ripple effect, allowing our space to grow more inclusive and guided by care, compassion and kindness.
Honouring the Roots of Pole Dance
Ally-ship can be both practical and a team effort. We stand firmly against the erasure of sex work culture & history, and use this as a way to give back to those who paved the way for us to do what we love & enjoy.
FAQS
Where does my contribution go?
The impact of the Community Care Fund is often quiet, but it is very real. Recipients are contacted discreetly and offered support without their identities being shared, so their privacy and dignity are fully respected. While you may not know exactly who your contribution supports, please know that it goes directly toward helping someone feel welcomed, supported, and able to show up. We are a Studio built on transparency, so will be, from time to time, sharing how many classes have been booked using our Community Care Fund, without divulging who has taken advantage of it.
How else can I support?
Any bookings for our $picy $tyle & $picy $tage Skills Classes go towards our Community Care Fund. Additionally, for these bookings, every quarter we donate a portion to Decrim4Scotland & NUMbrella.
Any orders or Exotic Cancer items from our store - 50% of the profits go towards our Pay It Forward kitty.
How can I take advantage of the fund if I need it?
When we have available funds, we will promote how many free classes we have available on our app and social media. Those looking to take advantage are encouraged to email us, and will be given a one off discount code to purchase either a Single Class Credit (£14), Single Pole Practice Credit (£7.50) or book into one of our $picy Sunday classes. This will be on a no-questions asked/ no proof required basis and will be kept strictly confidential (other than to Team PPS). The amount of subsidised classes taken will then be deducted from our fund.
