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. All MU objectives talk about caring; we all know someone who has cared for us, and we know what a difference it makes to our lives. So how can we say thank you?

World Autism Awareness Day 2011 – Message by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
01 April 2011
The number of children and people with autistic conditions continues to rise – in every nation and in every racial, ethnic and social group. Although the recognition of autistic conditions among the scientific, health and care communities is improving, public awareness remains low. The annual observance of World Autism Awareness Day thus takes on ever greater importance as an opportunity to mobilize for action and assistance.
You’re never too old to keep in touch (and to sing) over the net!
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.
