Another woman, who relies on the support of the MASH van, said: "It’s awful out there at the moment. But you feel that bit safer knowing the MASH van is nearby."
Women can step into a warm, private space with trained and trusted workers. They can get condoms, food and drink, warm clothing and essential items or just a few moments respite. Annie Emery, CEO at MASH, said: "It is really concerning that we are seeing an increase in women coming to us traumatised following extreme male violence and abuse. Support following attacks is a key part of our offer at MASH, but there has been an increase in demand for this type of support recently.
