As the pandemic era stretches out into the distance we are inviting you to come along and join us via a Zoom video conference for our National Conference and AGM 2020. 

Hear about the “The Forgotten Workers: Low Paid Workers in Multiple Employment” from Dr Jo McBride and Dr Andrew Smith whose unique research opens the door on the experiences of these workers and the implications for them because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Hear about the MCW’s NEC on how they faced the changing circumstances during the lockdown and beyond.

Many of us will know that Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, a destination visited by many from the UK for years, is an Island Paradise.  Some 350 miles east is a small autonomous outer island called Rodrigues and is part of the Republic of Mauritius.

No! To Violence Against Women

We are grateful for many men and women who continue, courageously, to advocate for the elimination of violence against women and girls. All supporting initiative is commendable, and its effects will be felt, through Christ, in all the areas of Church life. 

Back in September 2014 the MCW Review featured an article by a Primary School Teacher and her colleagues sharing their experiences of working life.

It describes how some had chosen to go part-time just so that they didn‟t have to work weekends which is what the result of full-time teaching actually meant in practice.
