For Mothers caring across the world on Mothering Sunday
Why the MU Cares for Carers
This Mothering Sunday we want to thank all of those people involved in caring in our communities. Mums are not the only people who work tirelessly to care for others, so we want to celebrate and thank all those who care.

Our chat with 100 year old Skyper Mary Amelia
Today we had a brilliant conversation with Mary Amelia, 100, over Skype.
Mary, who on her 100th birthday received a card from Bear Grylls as well as the Queen, regularly uses Skype to chat to friends and family in America, Australia and New Zealand; aside from telling us tales of her role as a ‘technician’ with the GPO during World War Two fitting and maintaining telephone equipment, she even sang for us.
