Marriage Care

Who we are

Marriage Care is the largest faith-based relationship support organisation in England and Wales. Our vision is for a society in which all adults can build and sustain strong, fulfilling, healthy relationships. We provide relationship education resources, marriage preparation services and  relationship counselling to all, regardless of ability to pay and have been doing this for over 70 years! We are a registered national charity run almost entirely by a dedicated body of over 670 volunteers who are supported by a small team of staff at the national office.

We provide marriage preparation services via group courses and FOCCUS - a questionnaire based relationship tool used with individual couples. We provide relationship counselling services for couples and individuals. We aim to provide accessible services at a time that people want them, and at affordable rates; we do not charge a fixed fee for our relationship counselling sessions although we do ask for contributions and a minimal one-off £10 registration fee. Marriage Care run these vital relationship support services out of 52 centres and more than 100 counselling locations across England and Wales, so you’ll probably find us in a community near you.
