Social Welfare
Marriage Care is the largest faith-based relationship support organisation in England and Wales. We provide marriage preparation and professional relationship counselling through 53 centres across England and Wales, with almost 100 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.

We believe that the bond between humans and animals is worth protecting and we aim to raise public awareness and understanding of the power of animals, to change human behaviours and ultimately improve animal welfare.
