INCREASING OUR REACH AMBITION

Our objective is to increase our reach by meeting more women where they are at across Greater Manchester. Our focus will be on those women currently underserved by services and support because of stigma, intersectional barriers and location. We will further expand our geographical boundaries to all 10 boroughs of Greater Manchester.

We will also increase the population to which we offer services, to include those women with multiple disadvantage who are either currently sex working and/ or may enter or return to sex work.

We will do this by:

Mapping current service provision and establishing pilot projects delivered in partnership in priority boroughs of Greater Manchester to enhance the local offer for women.

Actively developing partnerships and collaborations with grassroots specialist organisations that focus on supporting minoritised groups. This will include developing joint bids/funding streams and using MASH’s platform to share resource and power.

Developing new support pathways around homelessness and safe accommodation, mental health, education, training and employment opportunities, and peer support.
