Hello, we are MASH

We stand with women who sex work and help you to experience good health, safety and emotional wellbeing.

We do this in several different ways, and most importantly, in a way which suits you.

We support women who are sex working;

In our welcoming and non-judgemental drop-in centre on Fairfield Street, Manchester city centre

Through our in-house clinic run by our fantastic nurse

By bringing MASH to you via our street outreach team and MASH van

  • Filling in forms
