Welcome to

Rochester Diocese Mothers’ Union
Reaching Out As Rochester

Local Projects include:

Away from it All (AFIA) holidays. Members contribute to the AFIA fund that provides self catering accommodation holidays for families in need of a break. Applicants can self refer but usually referrals are made by clergy, social workers or support groups.
Craft activities: members knit toys, make items for premature baby units or A&E departments in local hospitals, create quiet activity bags for us during church service
Provide practical support for local groups such as collecting toiletries, household items and toys for Women’s refuges, refugee groups, local families in need.
Fund raising for projects around the world that empower our members to lead their families out of poverty and give them a voice to determine their future

Wendy Swattridge

Blessed is the person who sees the need, recognises the responsibility, and actively becomes the answer. (William Arthur Ward)

That best explains how a Christian Organisation such as Mothers’ Union operates. Working through our local membership with a variety of small parish and community abased projects we reach out to meet the spiritual and practical needs of families in our communities. We believe families are the key to building a strong and sustainable future for our society.

Members in our diocese regularly fund raise to support local and global projects. As Mothers’ Union members we very much believe in the value of giving a ‘hand up’ rather than a ‘hand out’.
