MATCH is a charity that offers non-judgemental support and information to mothers apart from their children in a wide variety of circumstances. Our members include those who are sharing parenting and those who have little or no contact. We believe that children have a basic human right to continue to be part of a loving, nurturing family network for life, no matter how many times that family re-makes itself, no matter where their mothers live.

Are you a mother apart because:

• You have been through divorce and family breakdown

• Your child has been fostered, taken into care or adopted

• You are a mother in prison

• Personal reasons or choice

• Religious and cultural

• Your child has been abducted
