Anne Fennell, a devoted wife and mother to six sons ranging from 22 to 8 years old, is passionate about highlighting the value of the caregiving role and preserving the freedom for future generations to make the choice to care. Overseeing her household, Anne has observed the impacts of family policies and the pressures on mothers to re-enter the workforce.

Currently serving as the Chair of Mothers at Home Matter, Anne has engaged with political conferences, briefed MPs, and contributed to various tax and childcare inquiries. Taking over the presidency of FEFAF (European Federation of Parents and Carers at Home) in April 2023, she continues to advocate for the developmental needs of young children and the influence of tax policies on family choices. Anne is deeply involved in her local community, contributing to toddler groups, chairing the PTA, and engaging with various think tanks and political discussion clubs.
