Motherwell’s mission is to provide accessible support for every young girl and mum.
That’s why, as far as possible, we aim to provide our services free of charge.
Our work is also supported through fundraising events throughout the year with all profits invested back into the services we offer.
We have several partnership and event sponsorship packages available.
