This Lent we're choosing to #GiveHope

The Lent generosity challenge is on pause this year but we're joining something new...

Find out how to #givehope

40acts is a community of over 100,000 people across the globe who have decided to do Lent differently. For 10 years we have asked the question: “what if Lent could be about more than just giving stuff up?”. 40 days, 40 challenges, 40 ways to make a difference.

Take a look at some of the challenges

Act 11

Think of the sorts of people we only notice when things go wrong: the waste collectors after two weeks of rubbish piling up, the sound team when a church service goes wrong, the handyman uncle when a car disaster hits. Do we notice them at any other time? It might just take a thank you, or a gift card. This is an easy and really noticeable way to make a difference to someone.
Act 14

It’s far from the token green day. As we act to protect our environment, we’re acting generously for those not even born yet, helping to create a world that can keep on giving and sustaining people, beyond the limit of our own lifetimes.
Act 22

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day, a day of celebration but also a difficult reminder of grief for many. Think carefully and creatively about how they might best receive generosity. It could be inviting them to the party, or offering a more low-key and quiet recognition of how they’re feeling.
