Mothers' Union

We are a Christian organisation that has been supporting families worldwide for nearly 150 years. Started by founder Mary Sumner in 1876 in her local Hampshire parish, growing into an international charity with over 4 million members in 83 countries. As Christian members we demonstrate our faith in action with members working at a ground level around the world, they bring hope and pracitcal support through parenting, literacy and community development programmes. As a registered charity we campaign at local, national, international levels to bring about real change for gender equality and for the rights of women and girls. 

Our Mission
• To promote and support married life
• To encourage parents in their role to develop the faith of their children
• To maintain a worldwide fellowship of Christians united in prayer, worship and service
• To promote conditions in society favourable to stable family life and the protection of children
• To help those whose family life has met with adversity
