Mash Community Support Network aims to provide support for the African and Caribbeans families living with special needs children, through the provision of resources and advocacy. We focus on improving the quality of life for both the children and their families by offering various services and activities such as emotional support, educational workshops, resources provision, respite care, Services Access, Advocacy, and financial assistance when possible.

Any family can receive support from the moment their child or young person’s day-to-day life shows the need of support, whether you already have a diagnosis or waiting for one. 

Anyone can refer a family to us (for example, a family member, friend, health, education or social care professional) provided consent from the family has been given for the referral to be made. Please see our FAQ’s for more details on our support and criteria for support.
