“We’ve had lots of women asking for clothing and toiletries…It’s been a busy shift but a good shift.” – Sophia, MASH Volunteer
Thanks to our MASH worker, Lindsey and our volunteer Sophia for sharing an insight into what happens on the MASH van,
The MASH van goes out on evenings in Manchester – it’s a safe presence for women who are street sex working.
Women can step on or speak to the team through the window. They can access essentials like condoms, food and drink, warm clothing. They can also step into the warmth and speak to the team confidentially.
The van is a vital service that many women call a lifeline.
That’s why we are raising funds for the van in our Big Give Christmas Challenge. We’re so pleased to have a spot on this campaign because any donations to MASH are doubled for 7 days only.
The campaign opens at noon on Tuesday 29 November 2022 and donations must be made via this link.
