Breaktime

Mothers’ Union, working with a local Residents’ Association, open up a parish hall during the lunchtime break, and provide teenagers with something free to eat and drink, activities to do and a safe place to socialise.

Most days between 40 – 50 young people come along. Volunteers help in a range of ways: some by serving the food and drinks, and others who are more ‘front of house’ engage more directly with the young people.

“This project has led the parish into a newly enriched relationship with the community and its young people”

  • An Inspired idea:
    Engaged couples add their names and the date of their wedding to a prayer tree so that members can then pray for them.

  • Feedback on Inspired

    "Looking through the Inspired pages I really was ‘inspired’ to read about the variety of activities with which Mothers’ Union members are involved; some of them really simple so that even the smallest branches could take them on.

    Just imagine if every branch was ‘inspired’ to take up one thing – what an impact that would have!"
