The gift that keeps on giving

Set up a monthly donation and it'll be matched for four months, helping even more women in 2024

A massive thank you to all our new supporters who’ve joined as monthly donors! We appreciate you so much.

You can still become a monthly donor here

It’s that time of year when you might be thinking of making a kind gift to MASH to show your support for women who are facing an extremely tough Christmas.

We have always been blown away by people’s generosity around the festive period.

And, we are hoping with our new appeal that this generosity will ripple well into the new year.

Could you go beyond a one-off donation and set up a regular gift this December?

There has never been a more urgent time to set up a monthly donation to support women in Greater Manchester.

Following one of our busiest ever years, we want to make sure we can support every single woman who needs a lifeline.

You can make this a reality.

The great news? If you set up a monthly gift to MASH between £2 and £50 by Tuesday 19th December your kindness will be doubled for four months, so you are supporting even more women.

Thanks to a group of generous donors, the kindness of new and upgraded monthly givers will go twice as far for Christmas and beyond.

From Monday 4th December Until Tuesday 19th December, if you set up a monthly donation to MASH, your first four donations will be doubled*.

Set up a monthly donation

Why are monthly donations an amazing way to show your support to women in Greater Manchester?

The best thing is that we can use your funds exactly as we need to, based on someone’s needs in the moment.

These are some examples of how amazing monthly donors have directly helped women recently;


• A dressing gown and PJs for a woman who was going into hospital, distressed and had nothing to sleep in
•A taxi home for a woman after an intense counselling session at MASH
• A mobile phone with credit for someone whose phone was stolen, leaving them isolated and unsafe
• Kitchen items for someone finally moving into a new flat, dreaming of being more independent
"When things were really bad, MASH offered me hope that my life could be different. Once I accepted this everything began to change."

Why are monthly donations important?

Today, we face some of our greatest challenges yet.

More women are turning to sex work or are returning to sex work after a long time away from it.

More women are coming into MASH starving and in survival mode.

Support services are being cut and others are stretched to breaking point. So it is vital that MASH can continue to provide that practical and emotional support to every woman who shows up at our door and on our van.

Setting up a monthly direct debit is a very special way to support women.

The certainty of your regular gift gives us the confidence to plan for the future – safe in the knowledge that, together, we are here for those who need and deserve care.

Help make a difference and start your monthly donation today. Your first four gifts will be doubled and have twice the impact*

I’d like to set up a regular gift

The doubling applies to new regular gifts and also to increases in existing regular gifts (the matching applies to the additional amount given each month).

To increase your existing Direct Debit or recurring card payment, please contact janelle@mash.org.uk / 0161 273 4555

*Whilst the funding pot is available

Thank you so much for all your support.

The doubling will be offered until the ring fenced funding pot is used up. Please note that, as we are a very small team, there may be a delay in us sharing that the funds have ended but we will endeavour to update this as soon as we can.

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’.
