I’d like to speak to someone

Our case workers are here to talk and support you with anything that you’re dealing with. You’re never alone.

Call MASH 0800 183 0499 (freephone)

Our case workers are here to talk and support you with anything that you’re dealing with. You’re never alone.

They provide confidential support with a wide range of issues, in particular access to drug treatment and support with benefits, housing and emotional or mental health issues.

If it’s your first time speaking to MASH, they will carry out a comprehensive assessment of your needs and come up with a plan to help you meet them, however big or small you feel your issues or concerns are.

You can make an appointment to see a caseworker, by ringing our Freephone number 0800 1830 499 or by popping in to one of our drop-in sessions.

I know I have somewhere to turn to thanks to MASH. I was able to share what was happening and my worries without fearing judgement. I feel more confident since speaking to MASH and I’ve got more regular income coming in.

We are MASH

For 30 years, MASH has stood by women who are sex working or thinking about it, offering non-judgemental support to improve health, safety and wellbeing.

We take MASH to women where they are at, offering support from our drop-in centre, our MASH van, in Manchester city centre, in saunas and via phone calls and home visits.

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