Mothers' Union is a global Christian movement working with people of all faiths and none.We have three types of membership, which is open to everyone, those of faith, little faith or none - Branch Members, Diocean Members and Friends.

Members are involved in their parishes and beyond. In parishes they help with Baptism and Marriage Preparation, Toddler Groups, Pre Schools, Sunday Schools and a variety of other activities - every parish is different!

Outside parish boundaries, for example, valuable work in prisons, and in contact centres, helps some of the less fortunate and more vulnerable young people, and parents too.

Away From It All (AFIA) funds holidays for families who might otherwise not have a holiday.

Chelmsford Mothers’ Union has overseas links with the Mothers’ Union in the Dioceses of: Rejaf (South Sudan) Military Episcopate (Kenya) Owo (Nigeria) Doko (Nigeria) Jamaica & The Caymen Islands (West Indies) and of course Chelmsford.  Our Wave of Prayer time is 18th-20th June.      For updates on our linked overseas Diocese check out World News articles.
