40 Acts: Doing Lent Generously

"40 days of giving back, doing good and living generously"

This year, why not do something a bit different for Lent? Christians are called to pray, almsgive and fast during Lent. However this campaign suggests that we can 'do Lent generously':

"What if your Lent, this year, was a preparation for a lifetime of big-heartedness that reflected God's amazing generosity? Well, that’s where 40acts – the generosity challenge from Christian charity Stewardship - comes in."
