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.
