The Mothers’ Union believes that faith and compassion have the power to change lives.    The annual review shares many stories where this has been proved true.

Nearly 450,000 lives were directly impacted by members around the world whilst MU also supported 1.4 million indirectly through its grassroots initiatives – working in prisons, building resilience against climate change, supporting families, and educating about health.

In the UK, with others, MU continued to campaign for the Domestic Abuse Bill to be as inclusive as possible and provided input to the government consultation on Violence against Women and Girls. Members also continued to provide support to refuges across the UK.
