Mothers' Union Diocese of Norwich

In this largely rural diocese our 800+ Mothers’ Union members endeavour to express Christ's love in a secular environment.

Through a wide variety of initiatives, our members enable the strengthening of family life and local communities across Norfolk and Waveney. Through relationship workshops, toddler groups and prison work, hospital support and holidays, we actively reach out to support all ages at all stages in life. Our members campaign locally on issues of importance and take part in national and global campaigns promoting equality and justice. All our work is underpinned by daily prayer.

Our work:

• Supporting couples preparing for marriage
• Providing baptism families with prayer resources
• Providing Christmas presents for prisoners to give to their children
• Providing Away From It All holidays
• Providing materials for Godly Play sets
• Supporting teenage mums with baby essentials
• Supporting parish toddler groups
• Providing toiletries to local refuges
• Supporting a group of Syrian refugees
• Providing pocket crosses to hospital chaplains
• Providing knitted goods requested by our three local maternity units
• Working in partnership with Norfolk Women Reaching Women to campaign on issues of the Sustainable Development Goals
• Offering monthly midday prayers at Norwich Cathedral
