How to DOUBLE your donation to MASH

Until midday on Tuesday 15 March you can make twice the impact for MASH thanks to The Big Give. You can contribute to our vital drop-in centre

March 9, 2022

We’d like to tell you about Paige*. (TW) We have known and supported Paige for many years at MASH.

Last year, she buzzed at the door of the MASH drop-in. It was the day she fled her violent 15-year relationship. When she stepped inside, Paige told us.

“MASH was the only safe place I could think of to come.”

Paige only had the clothes she was standing in and a tiny bag of belongings.

Thanks to MASH supporters like you, Paige could get a food parcel and transport to an emergency refuge. She had the support of MASH’s team over many months, culminating in her move to a permanent, safe home.

“If it wasn’t for the MASH drop-in centre, I wouldn’t have known where to turn to.”

Paige’s story is sadly not an unusual one. The MASH drop-in centre is, in a word, vital.

YOU can help to support our drop-in centre between 8 – 15 March

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’.
