Who better to tell you the impact of our work than those who experience it?

The real value of what we do is felt by those who walk through our doors. From veterans and serving personnel to their families, the stories of transformation, connection and support speak for themselves. Our community members are the heart of M.A.S.H, and their experiences show just how much we make a difference in breaking down isolation and building a stronger, more connected Armed Forces community.

What do our community

M.A.S.H has really helped immensely with my motivation. Diagnosed with P.T.S.D. and recently suffering a minor stoke and cardiac condition, M.A.S.H have made myself reach deep down and motivate myself with self-care and socialising. Wanting to get up and out of bed and get dressed. Thank you for funding the beat the winter blues and may it continue to help others who struggle in life as I do. JM

M.A.S.H always has a listening ear when you attend the activities they are providing. They always see how yourself and your family have been and if there is any further support they can offer. It’s a great opportunity for families to connect on a weekend day. Kingfisher allowed the children to socialise outside of their normal surroundings and was also great for families to be together and know they were in a secure environment to run around and enjoy the outdoors knowing there was a familiar face nearby keeping an eye out.

All of the activities in their own way are special. Knowing you’re arriving to a warm welcome each week and at the residential is lovely. My son likes familiar faces which this provides for him. He’s always so excited to attend all of the activities, even ones that he might not have normally wanted to do but with familiar faces it makes it easier and less daunting.

The ongoing support from the team is amazing. Kingfisher was a great chance for us as a family to get some quality time together and share moments with friends from the community. It also provided experience like kayaking that my children probably wouldn’t have normally chosen to do but it is a new found love.

We as a family would say do it and get involved with M.A.S.H! There’s so much time and support to be offered all the time with so many experiences and great activities for you to enjoy as a whole family. The residential is a fantastic opportunity for so many great family time activities and lots of fun and laughter. We’re so fortunate to have something like M.A.S.H.
