Organisation description: MASH stands by women in Greater Manchester who are involved in sex work or experiencing challenges like homelessness and gender-based violence. MASH is a local charity, offering non-judgemental support to improve women’s health, safety and wellbeing. The team reaches women where they are at and provides support from MASH’s welcoming drop-in centre, ‘MASH van’ and out in the community. MASH helps women to feel safer and to achieve their goals. Many say it’s a ‘lifeline’.
