The organisation was founded by Mary Sumner in 1876 in the Church of England Parish of Old Alresford, near Winchester, where her husband was Rector. She was inspired to start the movement after the birth of her first grandchild. Remembering her own difficulties when she was first a mother, Sumner wanted to bring mothers of all social classes together to provide support for one another and to be trained in motherhood, something which she saw as a vocation. As a global movement of women (and men), Mothers’ Union supports local churches with the prayers and activities of its branch members, local communities through social outreach projects and is an international campaigning charity.

 

Our Branch was started at Christ The Good Shepherd Church Eastridge in 2015.
