Tribute
This is our term for that part of a members' annual branch subscription that is forwarded to the Diocesan Treasurer. A small portion of the tribute money is kept to defray diocesan expenses and the remainder is forwarded to All-Ireland, which in turn sends the final balance to Mary Sumner House. At every level all our administrative expenses are funded from the Tribute; this means that for every other form of giving the total amount is used for the purposes for which it was raised.
Make a mother's day
make a mother's day is Mothers' Union's ethical gifts campaign for Mothering Sunday. Give a mum or carer a Mothering Sunday gift, or buy a gift 'in memory' of a mum, and help a family in tough circumstances through Mothers' Union.
Helping parents provide for their children, empowering communities, or giving pregnant mums vital healthcare, Mothers' Union makes a startling difference to families across the world. For more details.
