On Friday 22nd September, Mothers’ Union will proudly launch its national initiative, RISE UP Against Domestic Abuse at York Minster supported by the Archbishop of York. Through its 40,000 strong membership across Britain and Ireland Mothers’ Union aims to play its part in combating domestic abuse through awareness raising, resources, and support for those affected by domestic abuse, as well as fostering a culture of empathy and empowerment within our churches and communities. To kick start the awareness raising and launch the campaign a number of members will march between the York Barbican and York Minister on 22nd September.
