Did you know it’s officially Thank You Week? (Well, at MASH we’ve decided that it is!)
A HUGE thank you to everyone who is part of the MASH community.
Never underestimate the impact you have just by following what we do, telling a friend about MASH or showing us your support.
“It means everything knowing that someone cares.”
The incredible women we meet every day at MASH are some of the most marginalised in Greater Manchester.
You support them to have access to healthcare, safety, connection, essentials like food and toiletries and somewhere they can be real.
We simply could not show up without you, the MASH collective.
A massive thank you to our MASH community for all you do for us.
You keep us stocked up with essential items like underwear and toiletries
You share our content with your networks, helping to raise awareness of MASH and the women we support
You nominate us to win vital funding (still open here!)
You donate to our vital fundraising appeals so we can continue standing with women
Many of you donate your time and energy as volunteers
You run, walk, bake, DJ, dance, create and run raffles for us
Because of YOU,
We have been able to support more than 600 women in the past year.
Because of you, more than 200 women took part in creative and isolation-busting activities at MASH such as song writing, drama and pewter craft in the past year.
Because of you, 57 women who are recovering from trauma were able to access expert counselling at MASH in the past year.
Because of you, our team supported 185 women experiencing homelessness and housing issues, and 84 women following an experience violence.
And because of you, more women are meeting their goals and ambitions. Whether it’s singing, making jewellery, applying for a course or getting back in touch with family members.
“Thank you. MASH has helped me so much. I’ve been around on the street for years… I thought I don’t need them to help me I’m fine by myself. Now I know how wrong I was cos you’ve helped me so much”
Over the last few years, we have been through so much together. It’s thanks to you and your ongoing generosity and support that we are getting closer to a world in which all women have choice, freedom and power.
Thank you so much for everything you do
