MASH launches new space to support Armed Forces community
Military Assistance Social Hub (MASH) has luanched its new Armed Forces Community Connection Point, which is operating from Bridlington CYP
The new space has been created to give members of the Armed Forces community access to confidential, welcoming, and professional support in one place.
It also provides vital facilities for the organisations that support them, helping ensure the right support is available at the right time – with dignity, trust, and privacy.
A MASH spokesperson said: “We were honoured to welcome Charlie Dewhirst, MP for Bridlington and the Wolds, our local Armed Forces community support partners, and local businesses to help mark the launch and see first-hand the impact this new space will have.
“The Compass consultation room and hot desks are free to access for support partners, making it easier to work together and deliver joined-up, wrap-around support for the Armed Forces community.
“Alongside the launch, new for next year ‘Find Out About Us Fridays’.
“Local businesses are invited to drop in for a brew and breakfast, meet the team, and see how M.A.S.H. supports not only the Armed Forces community, but also those who stand alongside them.
“This is about removing barriers, strengthening collaboration, and working together to support those within the Armed Forces Community.”
Charlie Dewhirst MP added: “I was pleased to join the Military Assistance Social Hub team and other voluntary groups at their Community Connection Brunch, where they launched their new Armed Forces Community Connection Point at Bridlington CYP.
“It will be a fantastic resource to support local veterans and their families, and it was a pleasure to meet Craig Leach, Chair of the group, Michelle, and the wider team whose commitment makes this support possible.”
