LLANDAFF DIOCESAN MOTHERS’ UNION
The Purpose of the Mothers’ Union is to be especially concerned with all that strengthens marriage and Christian family life.
The Aim of the Society is the advancement of the Christian religion in the sphere of marriage and family life.
To carry out this Aim and the Objectives of the Mothers’ Union are:
-
To uphold Christ’s teaching on the nature of marriage and to promote its wider understanding.
-
To encourage parents to bring up their children in the faith of the life of the Church.
-
To maintain a world-wide fellowship of Christians United in prayer, worship, and service.
-
To promote conditions in society favourable to stable family life and the protection of children.
-
To help those whose family life has met with adversity.
Membership is open to all who:
-
(i) Have been baptised in the name of the Holy Trinity.
-
(ii) Declare their support for the aim and objectives of the Society.
Responsibilites of the Trustees
They shall debate, consider, and determine all matters of policy and strategy to be affected on behalf of Llandaff Diocesan Mothers’ Union.
They shall manage and supervise the finances of the Society and review and evaluate the work of the Society.
They shall receive, consider, and respond to all resolutions received from the Diocesan Council.
Procedures are in place for the regular training of Trustees to ensure good practice and awareness of their responsibilities. Training is also given to Deanery and Branch officials at regular intervals.
Risk Management
The Trustees confirm that the major risks to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees have reviewed the reserves of the Charity. This review considered the nature of the income and expenditure streams, the need to match variable income with fixed commitments and the nature of the reserves. The review concluded that to allow the Charity to be managed efficiently we should aim to keep reserves at their present level, which equates to approximately 12 months of charitable expenditure also bearing in mind our A.F.I.A. project which puts a high financial demand on our expenditure. During 2022, the Trustee Board took the decision to continue to retain current reserves to enable the Charity to be managed efficiently. – Disinvest £20k
Organisaton
Llandaff Diocesan Mothers’ Union is autonomous and is one of the sixty-six federated Mothers’ Union Charities in the British Isles. As such it operates in conjunction with the central charity of the Mothers’ Union at Mary Sumner House, 24 Tufton Street, London, SW1P 3RB. The Charity has over 4 million members in 84 countries and lobbies local and national government on issues affecting family life and campaigns to change legislation, where necessary.
Llandaf Diocese Mothers’ Union
The Llandaff Diocese Mothers’ Union is managed by the Board of Trustees which comprises the Diocesan Secretary and Diocesan Treasurer, Diocesan Chaplain (non-elected) a Diocesan President, two Vice Presidents each representing an Archdeaconry, two elected Trustees one from each Archdeaconry and four elected Unit Coordinators. The Units are Faith and Policy, Marketing, Action and Outreach and Finance and Administration. These Units are run by the elected Coordinator and have Trustees and members who act as Unit Advisors undertaking the work of each Unit.
Following a new Mothers’ Union (Central Charity) Constitution passed in 2018, the Llandaff Diocese Mothers’ Union Constitution was updated and ratified, conforming to the amended Rules and Regulations therein, in 2019.
In 2023, there were 61 branches and 11 Deaneries with 1207 members of the Mothers’ Union in the Diocese. A few members choose to become Deanery or Diocesan members, and do not belong to a specific Branch.
The organisation, whether at Diocesan, Deanery or Branch levels aims to reach out to those in need of all ages and especially with families and married couples. Members raise funds for use at local, national, and international levels. All the work is underpinned by Prayer and the membership is involved in a range of Prayer and Worship events across the Diocese. This work is supported by the Mothers’ Union Chaplain, Revd. Sandra Birdsall. Llandaff Diocese is linked with five Overseas Dioceses and attempts to keep in close touch with them.
To enable all members to be well informed, a publication named ‘In Touch’ is produced which includes all up to date news on projects and Branch Life. This was distributed four times a year. The website, namely mothersunionllandaf.org. is constantly updated and is favourably viewed by members. There is a Facebook account to keep members updated with news and events.
During 2023 the Trustee Board met frequently either in person or on Zoom; Deanery Leaders and Officers meetings were held, to disseminate information to branches and members. In 2023, an Annual Council Meeting was held at the Clayton Hotel, Cardiff in June. The individual Units met on Zoom a regular basis to undertake the work of the Charity through its many initiatives and to ensure that communication is kept at its highest level. A report from each Unit is presented at the Trustee Board meeting.
All Trustees have signed the Trustee Code of Conduct produced by Mothers’ Union. In addition, a Deanery Leaders Code of Conduct was produced and has been signed by all Deanery Leaders.
The Trustees have considered the requirements of the Charity Commissioners regarding public benefit and are satisfied that the activities of the Llandaff Diocesan Mothers’ Union meet these requirements.
Highlights
A celebration of 130 years of Mothers’ Union was marked with a Thanksgiving Service and Banner Festival at Llandaff Cathedral in September and was attended by the Worldwide President, Shearn Harper and over 400 members from across the Diocese and Province.
The use of a Zoom account, with a subscription which is renewed annually, enables greater communication across the Diocese. The Zoom account enables Units, Deaneries and Branches to meet and communicate effectively throughout the year.
Twice weekly devotions were produced by our Mothers’ Union Chaplain, Revd. Sandra Birdsall, for Advent and Lent Reflections and these were distributed throughout the Diocese by email, Facebook and our website and through the post to provide spiritual support to members.
Ongoing Projects:
(1) ‘Away from it All’
This is our main project and members continue to focus their fundraising activities during the year to provide families who have met with adversity or have suffered traumatic events, to a week’s holiday, free of charge. Members give their time freely and work tirelessly to raise funds, as this project relies entirely on the membership plus any ‘sponsored’ events that may arise. The season lasts for approximately 32 weeks, with one family a week given a free holiday, in 2023 the caravan was available for 27 weeks. The families are sponsored and recommended
to us due to their circumstances, for consideration. Families receive a supermarket voucher of £25 to purchase basic essentials at the start of their holiday.
During the 2023 holiday season 27 families benefited from a holiday in the caravan. A breakdown of statistics shows that 63 Adults (under 55 = 48, over 55 = 15), 66 children (13+years of age = 14, under 12 years of age = 52), 8 Single parent families (4 male and 4 female), 18 Adults with physical or mental health problems and 21 Children with physical or mental health problems, benefitted from an Away From It All Holiday.
The Open Week at the Caravan is held each year in July for members to visit and see the facility for themselves, and in 2023, a large number of members and clergy visited all eager to see the work undertaken to provide holidays in the caravan.
(2) Gender based Violence and Domestic Abuse Campaign
An exhibition was developed to raise awareness of Domestic Abuse in all its forms and signpost victims to sources of support. Working in partnership with Welsh Womens Aid, Restored-UK and Llandaff Diocese the #BehindClosed Doors mobile exhibition features 16 small acrylic doors, 16 life-sized silhouettes and a pop-up banner with the Live Fear Free contact details, so that if the exhibition triggers awareness of abuse and individuals need to seek help, they can do so. All materials are bilingual. Different types of Domestic Abuse are featured by means of 16 case studies, mainly provided by Restored but some from Mothers’ Union. Each case study has a reflection and a prayer written by Revd. Sandra Birdsall (chaplain). These have been recorded to video (YouTube Llandaff Diocese) and can be accessed by QR codes on the exhibition materials. The exhibition was launched in September 2023 at the Governing Body Meeting of the Church in Wales and has been displayed in 4 churches to date.
(3) Prison Work
Unfortunately, we do not have volunteers working in Parc Prison Bridgend and this project has now ended.
(4) Wedding Fairs
The Action and Outreach Unit have reached out to the community by promoting Christian Marriage at Wedding Fairs throughout the Diocese with attendance at three Wedding Fairs in Cardiff during the year.
(5) Outreach Work
A range of projects exist across the Diocese, and these continue to be developed following the Coronavirus pandemic. Members were highly creative and supported need in the community by various craft projects – knitting, sewing and supporting food banks. Supporting members, especially those who were isolated and lonely continues to be a priority.
-
(6) During 2023 there were approximately 84 Indoor Members. These members are unable to attend monthly branch meetings, due to their disability or circumstances but benefit by being kept in touch by letter twice a year. They also receive Easter/Christmas cards which also includes a letter from the Worldwide President each time.
-
(7) The Faith and Policy Unit organised and held many worship events, such as Quiet Days, Advent Praise and Advent Retreats. The Annual Wave of Prayer was provided for members to follow in their branches or follow online. The unit provided an effective contribution to the 16 Days of Activism Campaign in November was held online.
Future Plans
It is the Trustees’ wish that the Charity continues to undertake its Faith and Worship, Action and Outreach and Marketing functions as we come out of the Coronavirus pandemic and members become more confident in attending meetings and functions, we can plan for 2024 moving cautiously and with hope.
The Trustees agreed the accounts on 24 September 2024.
