NGH is the only UK organisation working solely on homeworking issues. Part of their work involves campaigning to improve employment conditions for homeworkers and to ensure homeworking stays on the political agenda. Current campaigns include: equal employment rights for homeworkers, UK ratification of the ILO Convention on Homeworking and a Chritmas Cracker campaign, Bang out of Order. Recent successes include campaiging for the inclusion of homeworkers under minimum wage legislation.

As well as campaigning for homeworkers rights within the UK, they also offer advice and support to UK homeworkers to ensure they get the rights they are entitled to. Since 2005 they have been running a casework and representation service to give advice to homeworkers about any aspect of working life and in some cases  may be able to take a case on their behalf to an Employment Tribunal.
