Each year, the Bishop’s Lent Call raises funds for local community projects in Southwark and our Link Dioceses in Zimbabwe and Jerusalem, as well as calling parishes to a time of prayer and contemplation.
The Bishop's Lent Call for 2025 is raising funds for projects that help children and young people recover from trauma and which encourage their mental wellbeing. We are supporting this type of work in the Diocese of Jerusalem and the Middle East, in our Link Dioceses in Zimbabwe and here in our own diocese.
You can find more information on this year’s projects and how to donate via the menu to the right, and further down this page you can read blog posts and watch videos from previous Lent Call projects. As we spend time in prayer and contemplation this Lent, we hope that you will feel able to generously support the projects we have chosen this year.
