We had an amazing day! Today all Mother union branches within Liverpool Diocese got together at Liverpool Catherdral to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Mothers Union. We all felt very privileged, to be part of this, especially representing our Mothers Union by taking the banners down the aisle as part of the procession.

Day 8
Plan a reflection for your church, like the Souls of our Shoes and Red Chair.
In St Thomas' we have a display that visualises the 1in3 using a pair of purple shoes as the individual who is suffering from domestic abuse.

Day 5

Many women running away from domestic abuse only have the clothes they are literally wearing. At Mothers' Union - Ashton in Makerfield we have ladies who creates packs for local refuges which include essentials, such as:
Toothbrush and toothpaste
Shower gel
Comb
Hair ties
Underwear
Sanitary products
Tshirts & leggings

Or when they are moving on, usually their new home is completely bare, therefore the following would be useful.

Cutlery
Crockery
Washing up items
Tea towels
Towels
bedding

The list goes on. If anyone would like to donate a moving in / moving out pack please comment for more information.
