Lives Worth Living
Join Campaign: Lives Worth LivingSPUC upholds the right to life from conception until natural death, and has played a part in resisting many attempts both in Parliament and in the courts to change the law on assisted suicide.
Our Mission
We work to protect unborn human lives at the local, national and international level to build a world free from abortion and euthanasia, promoting a culture of life and dignity for all.
We achieve this through advocacy, community engagement, education, and compassionate care, guided by our core values of integrity, courage and compassion.
It is our mission to protect the most vulnerable – unborn babies, the elderly and those facing end-of-life decisions. We work with schools, universities, and policymakers to ensure every life is valued and respected.
