Pay It Forward Classes - Community Support Fund
Our studio exists to be more than a place to train. It’s a space rooted in care, autonomy, empowerment, and shared strength; where people are supported to move, express, and reconnect with themselves on their own terms.
Our Pay It Forward Fund is one way we live those values in practice.
By choosing a nominated amount, you’re contributing directly to a fund that helps make classes free or more affordable for low-income students and sex workers in our community. This support can remove financial barriers for people who would otherwise struggle to access movement, connection, and care.
This is entirely optional. There is no expectation or obligation to contribute — especially during times when money is tight. This fund exists because many of our students asked for a way to give, and we wanted to make space for that generosity where and when people have capacity.
Any Pay It Forward contributions will be added to a kitty, and we will encourage folks to reach out to us privately if they need the financial support, as well as advertising where we have subsidised spaces going.
💗 What Your Contribution Supports
• Subsidised or fully funded classes for community members who need extra financial support
• A culture of mutual aid, dignity, and shared responsibility — not charity, but solidarity
• Every contribution, no matter the size, helps widen access and keep the circle of support moving.
💗 Why Pay It Forward?
• Support someone who needs it.
• Your contribution helps real people in our community continue their practice during financially difficult times.
• Whether someone is navigating instability, transition, or simply needs a softer landing, you’re helping make movement more accessible.
• Strengthen a Culture of Care
This fund isn’t just about money. It’s about choosing compassion, building trust, and creating a studio culture that prioritises inclusion over exclusion. Each contribution creates a ripple — supporting not just individuals, but the health of the whole community.
💗 Where Does My Contribution Go?
The impact of the Pay It Forward 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 Pay It Forward Scheme, without divulging who has taken advantage of 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 kitty.
💗 How Else Can I Support?
• Any bookings for our $picy $tyle & $picy $tage Skills Classes go towards our Pay It Forward kitty. Additionally, for these bookings, every quarter we donate a portion to our local SWer Union.
• Any orders or Exotic Cancer items from our store - 50% of the profits go towards our Pay It Forward kitty.
💗 A Final Note
Giving is never expected. Taking care of yourself comes first — always. If you do have capacity and want to help keep this studio accessible to a wider range of people, your contribution is deeply appreciated and genuinely meaningful.
Thank you for helping us build a studio shaped by care, consent, and community.
