Who We Are

Our Charity, Our Community

Established in 2007, Mother & Child Welfare Organisation (MACWO) is a London-based charity set up to provide support for vulnerable mothers and young people across our capital. Our work is centered on delivering direct community-level support, to the people who need it most.

What We Do

Our services are based on family values that support mothers, providing them with advice, skills and access to local authority services. We also connect with local prisons through our prison visit service which brings families together to create support groups.

We work with ex-offenders, providing them with a path to a better life through personal and professional development and we support youth initiatives across London connecting local communities, authorities and groups with our youth to provide opportunities, developing our future leaders.

Our Vision

Empowering mothers, supporting youth, and rebuilding lives across London.

“They encouraged me to join parenting workshops and gave me the confidence to be the strong mother my children needed.”

When my husband passed away, I was left to care for my two children with very little income and no family nearby. I didn’t know where to turn, but the organisation welcomed me with open arms. They helped me apply for support, guided me on how to manage my finances, and provided food parcels when times were toughest.

Today, I feel more hopeful. My children are thriving at school, and I finally believe I can build a better future for them.

“This place didn’t just support me, it gave me a second chance at life.”

Before I joined their youth programme, I didn’t care about school and was heading down the wrong path. They listened to me without judgement, helped me with my CV, and gave me opportunities to volunteer. For the first time, I began to see a future for myself.

Now I’ve gone back to college, working towards qualifications, and I feel proud when I look in the mirror.

“For the first time, I felt truly heard.”

I was battling with depression for years and felt ashamed to speak about it. The organisation connected me with counselling and support groups, reminding me that seeking help is a sign of strength. Slowly, I opened up and began to heal.

I’m not fully there yet, but I feel lighter, more hopeful, and better equipped to manage my mental health.
