MASH stands by women in Greater Manchester who are involved in sex work or experiencing challenges like homelessness and gender-based violence.

MASH is a local charity, offering non-judgemental support to improve health, safety and wellbeing.

MASH reaches women where they are at and provides support from their welcoming drop-in centre, MASH van and over the phone.

MASH helps them to feel safer, listened to, empowered and that in many cases it is a ‘lifeline’.

Each year we help hundreds of women. But there is a lot more work to be done and every day we help women trapped in poverty and addiction, suffering from violence, with mental health issues, anxious about debts or worried about where they are going to sleep that night.

Why the community needs us
Through our MASH centre and mobile drop-in vehicle we provide a safe, non-judgemental service to keep women safe and empower them to make choices about their lives. Our support ranges from sexual health screenings, providing clean injecting equipment and counselling sessions to creative writing and photography workshops.

Our impact on the community
We support more than 650 women per year. One woman said; "MASH has been a constant for me and the team has helped me get to where I am today. I rave about MASH to whoever will listen! They are amazing. I call them my 'trusted support circle.' Whenever you come into contact with MASH you get that feeling that everyone cares"
