A Special Invitation from Bishop Sophie to mark MU 150th Anniversary

The trustee board is thrilled that Bishop Sophie has generously invited Mothers’ Union members for a coffee morning at Bishop’s House on Thursday 23rd July.

A maximum number of 80 tickets has been set for each 10am and 11am hourly slot to ensure numbers can be accommodated inside Bishop’s House should the weather be problematic.

There should be plenty of roadside parking available close by or alternatively please use Coventry Memorial Park, Park and Ride.

I would be grateful if blue badge holders or those with mobility difficulties could please contact me for further guidance.

For those with any dietary requirements please also get in touch.

I know Bishop Sophie is so looking forward to meeting us, and is deeply appreciative of our steadfast and faithful service to the Mothers’ Union, all in Jesus’ name.

Please come armed with any good news stories, special photos and memories you would like to share.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DATE FOR TICKET APPLICATIONS HAS NOW PASSED.

Abseiling Challenge

For a century and a half, Mothers’ Union has been a beacon of hope, standing steadfastly beside women and families grappling with poverty, violence, and injustice. Today, as part of the Mothers’ Union 150th Fundraising Challenge, we are inspired to push boundaries and make an even greater impact.

On 1 August 2026, our team will take on the thrilling Coventry Cathedral Abseil — a sporting event that symbolizes courage and commitment. This challenge is more than just an adventure; it is a powerful statement of solidarity with those in need across Britain, Ireland, and beyond.

Your support is vital. By donating towards our target of £1,500, you empower Mothers’ Union to continue its invaluable charitable work through trusted local partners and members. Together, we can transform lives and build stronger communities. Join us in this journey — every contribution brings us closer to a world where justice and compassion prevail.
