Mothers' Union
Contacts and Membership
Membership
Membership of the Mothers' Union is open to all who have been baptised, affirm their belief in the Aim and Objects of the Mothers' Union and pay a subscription to Mothers' Union funds.
Branch membership is currently the most common form of membership. Branches are usually (though not always) attached to an Anglican church in the Diocese. Southwark currently has around 85 branches (for details of your nearest branch, please contact the Diocesan Secretary, details listed below). Branches offer fellowship, organise meetings, events and fundraising and decide on how they can best offer their membership of the Mothers' Union to their own communities. Attendance of branch meetings, however, is not a condition of membership.
Alternative forms of membership in Southwark are available including Diocesan, Deanery and Indoor membership. For details, contact the Diocesan Secretary.
