Who We Are

Mothers Union

The Deane branch is part of a national network

The Mothers Union was formed in 1876 by Mary Sumner, who was the wife of a Vicar. The idea of the Union was to support young Mothers. From this small beginning the Mothers Union has now one million members worldwide. 80% of these members are outside the United Kingdom. The original aims stated in 1893 were:

To uphold the sanctity of marriage;
To awaken in all mothers a sense of their great responsibility in the training of their boys & girls (the future fathers and mothers of England),
To organise in every place a band of mothers who will unite in prayer, and seek by their own example to lead their families in purity & holiness of life.
