Mothers’ Union’s aim is to be transformational.

Our worldwide fellowship of over four million members brings Christian care to families of all kinds. The grassroots nature of our locally-based membership means that the focus of Mothers’ Union is on promoting marriage and building stable family life within local communities.

This care is delivered through our three strategic steps as we:

• Pray for relationships to be flourishing and loving
• Enable development of all kinds: economic, relational and personal so that family life is strengthened
• Campaign for social justice for those on the margins and for greater recognition of the value of stable family life

In Winchester our locally- based membership is focused on just three words; Faith, Fellowship, Families each of which has it’s own theme.

Faith: Baptism, Loving for Life, Marriage, Quiet Days

Fellowship: Overseas links, unity in prayer

Families:  Away From It All Family Holiday,  Child Contact Centres, RAF Odiham Family Day,
