Mothers' Union has launched a nationwide urgent appeal to support Mary Sumner House survive the challenges of COVID-19. The costs of staffing, development work, safeguarding and governance are high, and the normal income that Mary Sumner House would receive, from hiring out conference rooms and the usual appeals and fundraising activities, has been decimated.
Our Diocese has already sent a donation of £5000, with more to follow as our members and branches pass donations to our treasurer.
Bev Julien has sent a heartfelt thank you letter.
The appeal letter was sent out directly to all members, with the copy of Families Worldwide. We know that some members were accidently missed off the mailing, and our Diocese is getting extra copies of Families Worldwide so that everyone will have a copy. There is a sheet of FAQS about the appeal too.
