The Mothers' Union: working at the heart of the community.

The Mothers' Union has a long tradition of reaching out to help families worldwide.

Our aim is to support and encourage family life by empowering people to take control of their lives and wellbeing.

To achieve this we run projects at home and abroad that are designed to give families the confidence and practical skills they need throughout their lives.

Prayer

Lord we are equal pilgrims on the journey to you. As we seek to value each other as equal pilgrims on this earth, let us open our hearts to your love. No matter how young or old, we are here to follow you. Amen.
