Our Services
MASH develops initiatives that break isolation, build confidence and which helps avoids participants ending up in a revolving door.
What We Do
The Mentoring & Advocacy Support Hub (MASH), previously the Peer Support Programme, was initially developed as part of the Time to Change 300 Voices Project to support young African and Caribbean men (extended to women in 2016) aged 18+ living with mental health problems in Birmingham, to build resilience and confidence to aid recovery.
Our Core
Programmes
From 2022 MASH will undergo restructuring and renewal of its core work and collaborative focus. This will include a lived experience leadership development programme, easy access to community services, and the return of the much-loved social activities.
Access Services
Over coming months we are developing a collaborative initiative to provide easy access and referral to a range of culturally appropriate local services.
Social Activities
We are planning and fundraising to bring this service back. The sessions are a place to relax, build friendships, and provide a space for sharing and support.

Leader Development
We are planning and fundraising to bring this service back. LEx builds the abilities and confidence to develop or manage user-led community services.
MASH Social Impact
In the evaluation of its work, MASH will seek to adopt the 'Social Value' model that looks at the social, economic and environmental impact that we create.
