Manchester Action on Street Health (MASH) is a charity that provides support to female sex workers, offering a range of confidential and non-judgmental services in order to help keep them safe and healthy.
[3] MASH works closely with female sex workers to promote sexual health, wellbeing and personal safety, whilst offering choice, support and empowerment to encourage positive life changes.
The MASH staff work to build relationships with the women, from which they can offer long-term casework support and help address issues such as drug addiction, housing and money problems.
MASH and charity supporters Dial2Donate built up a rapport after a suggestion from the Manchester branch of the Women's Institute.
[5] In 2013 MASH won a National Ugly Mugs Star Project Accreditation for good practice.
