Mothers' Union is a global Christian movement working with people of all faiths and none to develop communities, strengthen families and advocate for change. Our members are active in 83 countries and work tirelessly to serve their communities to build a future where everyone thrives.

Each member subscribes to the same values; the moral and ethical codes that are central to the ways in which we operate:

  • We are firmly rooted in a voluntary ethos centred on mutual respect and collaboration.
  • Our governance, leadership, and programmes are driven by and undertaken by members within their own communities worldwide; and
  • We work with and welcome to the movement, people of all faiths and none.

Our Britian and Ireland members may be part of a branch or parish, which sits within a Diocese, which reports to a Province. These Provinces and Dioceses follow the Anglican Church structure. We are a diverse and inclusive movement who also welcomes friends and supporters from within and outside of the church structure, together with a host of active volunteers all championing the work we do.
