Annual Gathering 2023
An inspiring day
11 Oct 2023
Over 700 members and friends of Mothers' Union attended the Annual Gathering 2023 in York. It was an opportunity to join together from across Britain and Ireland to showcase the innovative ways Mothers’ Union members respond to issues raised in and by their communities. From supporting new mother’s, running toddler groups, volunteering and offering respite breaks for families in need – we do whatever the community needs, when they need it.
Our WorldWide President, Sheran Harper, rallied us to continue to focus on combating all forms of GBV, and we were able to connect, learn and share from one another. You can read Sheran's emotional opening address, as well as see the materials used during the gathering here
