The Hanley Team Mothers’ Union is made up of members from across the team. Our meetings at present take place on the second Wednesday of every month at St. Mark’s Church, Shelton following the 10am Eucharist, and we are hoping to start an evening meeting in the near future. As a branch we endeavor to fulfill the aims and objectives of the Mothers’ Union as well as the annual theme, through our programme of speakers, bible study, fundraising and service each year. We also knit teddies for the first responders as well as premature baby clothes for the local maternity hospitals. Individual members are involved in various projects that support and promote family life.

Here is a statement of vision of the Mothers' Union. We at Hanley Team actively seek to promote these values.

Our Vision

Vision: Our vision is of a world where God's love is shown through loving, respectful, and flourishing relationships.

Aim & Purpose: To demonstrate the Christian faith in action by the transformation of communities worldwide through the nurture of the family in its many forms.

Mission:

Values: Mothers' Union is firmly rooted in a voluntary ethos. Its governance, leadership, and programmes are driven by and undertaken through members around the world as they respond to God's call to faith and action.

Beliefs:

• We believe in the value of each individual and their unique qualities
• We believe in the value of relationships. Jesus said, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself."
• We believe in the value of the family in its many forms as a source of love and support for individuals and the basis for a caring community.
