Electric fans have been flying off the shelves and more difficult to obtain than tickets for an Oasis concert! For women who sex work and\/or are homeless, a heatwave presents even greater challenges than usual and particular difficulties, with increased health risk related to sun exposure and greater need for basic items needed to maintain personal comfort, hygiene and dignity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Following a \u201cshout out\u201d for useful essentials that may be donated for the women at Manchester Action on Street Health (MASH), numerous club members donated money to the sum of \u00a3200, which was used to fund a delivery of the most needed items including protective sun cream, underwear, body wipes, shamoo, conditioner and shower gel. The following messages from Janelle and Vicky at MASH sum up the impact and importance of a donation like this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo confirm everything arrived and the team is over the moon! We had actually run out of items so this couldn\u2019t have been better timed.Please do pass on our gratitude to your friends for thinking of women at MASH.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><em>Cathrine Holland<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The unusually sultry weather we have experienced in Manchester of late has been difficult and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":272,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-club-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Summer Donation to MASH | News | Blog | Events | SI Manchester<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Manchester : Blog &amp; News : Summer Donation to MASH : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Manchester .
