M.A.S.H’s Big Book Club

M.A.S.H’s Big Book Club – For Women of the Armed Forces Community

Looking for a space to unwind, connect, and enjoy a good story? M.A.S.H’s Big Book Club is open to all women aged 18+ from the Armed Forces community — whether you're currently serving, a veteran, or a spouse or partner of someone who is.

Read or listen in your own time, in your own way — then join others who just get it. We meet to chat, share, relax, and laugh. Whether you're here for the stories or the company, you’re welcome.

Great company

Even better vibes

Free to join. No fees. No fuss. Just your time and a comfy seat.

M.A.S.H is a volunteer-led charity based in the East Riding of Yorkshire, dedicated to supporting the Armed Forces community — including veterans, serving personnel, and their families. With no paid staff, our work is driven purely by commitment, care, and respect for those who serve and have served.

We tackle isolation and its impact on mental and physical well-being through weekly support hubs in Bridlington, Beverley, Leven, and Normandy Barracks. These friendly spaces offer social engagement, tailored well-being activities, and crisis support, helping individuals feel seen, valued, and connected.

M.A.S.H offers immediate help when needed, along with ongoing signposting and referrals to longer-term services. We don’t just hand people off — we stay involved for as long as necessary, providing full wrap-around care and ensuring every individual gets the support they need.

Our services go beyond support — we actively build community and encourage peer connections. Whether it’s a warm drink, a shared activity, or a listening ear, every interaction at M.A.S.H helps create a stronger, more connected Armed Forces community.

We are proud to stand by our Armed Forces heroes — past and present — ensuring they are never alone. One conversation at a time, we’re breaking down isolation and making a difference.
