MAST

MAST (Multi-Agency Support Team) is an award-winning partnership of five local voluntary sector organisations that is helping transform urgent and emergency care across Bradford and Airedale.

By combining hospital-based interventions with community support, we help reduce readmissions, improve wellbeing, and ease pressure on NHS services.

Working in partnership, each organisation focuses on a different specialist area, including mental health, alcohol use, frailty, social prescribing providing support to frequent attenders, enabling and supporting timely discharge, reducing risk, and reducing admissions.

The team works collaboratively in A&E with other organisations such as ALPS (Acute Liaison Psychiatry Service), Occupational Therapists, MAIDT (Multi-agency Integrated Discharge Team) and ACT (Alcohol Care Team).

In 2024–25, MAST supported over 3,200 patients in hospital and 1,100 in the community, delivering life-changing outcomes and significant savings for the health system. View the latest impact report here: project6.org.uk

In 2025-26...

The Cellar Trust supported 4,030 people in our hospitals with 7,184 interventions. We delivered 1,113 sessions of support in the community.

71% of people we supported said they had the tools to manage distress in crisis.

93% of people contacted who accessed the MAST service do not re-present in A&E after support.

86% of people we supported now know the services available to them and how to access them.

Richard's story

Watch our short video showing the impact of our work when people need it most.

I am so grateful for the support I received from MAST. I looked forward to my weekly sessions with my support worker and always felt cheerful at the end of our calls.

Cassie, MAST client

The support you have offered has made a huge difference to my life, it has given me the motivation and guidance to help me get to where I want to be. I am sober for 4 months now and your support has helped with this, by putting me in touch with the right services.

MAST, service user

Mentally and physically, I have improved drastically. Often coming out of hospital is a vulnerable time and it was nice to have that wrap around support at that time, you helped to ease the fears that I had, I really appreciated having someone to talk to.

MAST, service user

I feel this service was the best thing that has happened to me. Anita did not judge me, and she made me feel at ease. She made me look at things in a different way and i then looked at myself as a whole and not as someone who used alcohol.

MAST, service user

MAST has helped me access the support in the community that I felt I was missing. I am now working on my well-being which is something I needed to do.
