"Hasia is a ray of sunshine and always uses her initiative to get various jobs done...when it is quieter, she makes sure to prepare condom packs, tidy up in the store room, re-stock biscuits and much more." #Volunteers #VolunteerShoutOut #ThankYou #VolunteersWeek

Many of our volunteers start off as students on placement with their university, learning more and more about how to support women, leading to them becoming volunteers with us. Oonagh has stayed with us since she finished her placement. #ThankYou #Volunteering #Volunteers

Our volunteers are so important to us. Without them, we wouldn't be able to run our services. We went to Navarro Lounge for some food and then to Royal Northern College of Music for tickets gifted to us at their RNCM Session Orchestra: Original Artists Edition. It was so inspiring!

Zines are a way of expressing your feelings and opinions, in an almost mini-magazine/leaflet. They allow you to fully use your imagination. When Jess led the session, the women were so engaged, and "One service user was really keen to do them again." #ThankYou #Volunteering

Our wonderful Natasha is sadly leaving us: "Natasha is an amazing volunteer for us at MASH. With just 4 months of volunteering, she has made such an impact. She has volunteered weekly at the Drop-in, never missing one of her shifts." #MASH #VolunteerShoutOut #ThankYou

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Jackie Driver OBE as MASH's new chair of trustees mash.org.uk/mash-announces…

As Volunteer Coordinator, Solomon, said: "Sarah is crucial to the Drop-in, always willing to swap shifts around if we are low on numbers one day. Her smile lights up the room and makes everybody who enters feel so welcome." #ThankYou #Volunteers #Volunteering

Researchers needed - Deadline to apply is Monday 15th July! We are delighted to be commissioning an independent evaluation of the impact of MASH’s services. To find out more please visit: mash.org.uk/tender/ #Research #MASH #Skills #Researchers

Some of our volunteers are really talented chefs and prepare some amazing meals for the women to enjoy at Drop-in. In the last week alone, we have had a gorgeous cottage pie made by Jess and a stunning vegetable pasta bake made by Natalie. #ThankYou #Volunteering #Volunteers

It is always sad when long-term volunteers leave us at MASH. Georgia has been a volunteer with us at MASH since May 2022, being a regular volunteer at the Drop-in and more recently started doing some outreach shifts too. She is leaving to go travelling and we wish her the best!
