MARRIGE CARE

Marriage Care is a charity operating across England and Wales, from 53 Centres, with 80 counselling locations. Our volunteers are mainly though not exclusively drawn from within the Catholic community.

We were established in 1946 in response to the pressure on family relationships following the Second World War. The world has changed dramatically in the past 60 years, but the need for support, education and help in the relationship field remains as great as ever.

By volunteering to work in one of the above areas; or by offering administrative or management support to one of our Centres; or by making a financial donation towards our work.

Core Values: Caring, Supportive, Sensitive, Enabling, Respectful.

Marriage Care is a faith-based organisation of people concerned about marriage, relationships and family life.

Marriage Care is an organisation that takes its inspiration from the Catholic tradition of marriage as the best unit for family life.

Marriage Care is an organisation committed to the life-long support of marriage, relationships and family life through the provision of reliable, relevant and accessible services.

Marriage Care’s purpose is to promote the relationship of marriage as a vocation of love with the power to transform individual lives.

Marriage Care believes that marriage is a covenant between two people and a sacramental union. Marriage is the basic family unit and fulfils essential social, psychological, emotional, sexual and biological functions with the potential to heal, sustain and enrich both of the partners, family and the wider community.

Marriage Care believes that marriage can be, for most people, the chief means of personal fulfilment. As a reflection of Gospel values, it is committed to working with those whose relationships are in danger of breaking down.
