What we stand for
The Mother's Union is a Christian Organization with more than a million members in 70 countries. Though our lives and our experience of the Mother's Union may differ widely depending on where we are, we are united by our shared belief in the importance of family values. We all have something to offer and something to learn. We have strong personal links between members around the world, and we unite in prayer, worship and fellowship. We have midday prayers everyday for our members in dioceses across the globe.

What we do
Our members support family life where there is a need within their own communities. We are involved in a great diversity of activities from worldwide literacy development to parenting projects in the UK. The work of the diocese and branch has an impact on a national and international scale.
We are involved in campaigning and lobbying on worldwide issues, such as parental rights, international debt relief and child poverty. We are pleased to work in partnership with organizations such as Hope UK, the United Nations and various other ecumenical groups. |
