Thank you to the MASH Community

Looking back at an inspiring and empowering community event to launch our new MASH strategy and four ambitions.

April 4, 2023

Everyone here at MASH wanted to reiterate our huge thanks to all who supported and attended our Strategy Launch ‘Going Above and Beyond’ on 29th March 2023.

Thank you to everyone who made a pledge to support us in achieving our MASH ambitions.

  • Strengthening our support
  • Increasing our reach
  • Amplifying women’s voices and influencing change
  • Creating a progressive and inclusive culture

As the opening address from Sue’s Space set out, we truly hoped that the event would be an inspiring, motivating, empowering and honest day.

Our community truly made that vision come to life- so a big thank you.

We are going to carefully review and digest the generous pledges made and you’ll hear from us soon about next steps and the collective commitments from everyone in the room.

Although we know our ambitions are big and we have barriers to overcome, it feels humbling and inspiring to know that MASH has such a wide and supportive community.

In the mean time you can review the strategy again here and we’re delighted to share a few photos taken on the day at GRUB (by Liz Hall).

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’.
