Nihal Arthanayake will be on Celebrity Mastermind, raising money for MASH!

Tune in to BBC One at 7:30pm on Friday 16 February to see Nihal Arthanayake try to win money for MASH

February 7, 2024

📺 MASH on the telly alert!

We are pinching ourselves that Nihal Arthanayake has only gone and chosen to support MASH in his upcoming appearance on Celebrity Mastermind!

Wow, Nihal, we are truly honoured and all of us at MASH are cheering you on all the way. The amazing broadcaster, author and BBC Radio 5 Live presenter, will be appearing on Friday 16 February.

He will be working his brain cells to raise vital funds for MASH. This is a real first for us! Back in 2020 Nihal visited us to meet and interview Colette, our fantastic trustee. The interview was so powerful that it was nominated for a New York Radio Award. The comments were amazing – one person said they were “listening to this moving story and crying.”

Good luck Nihal, you can see the timing of Celebrity Mastermind below:

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’.
