We are thrilled to be selected as one of three charities to benefit from Bishop Christopher’s 2025 Lent Call.
Our President, Bishop Christopher writes: “During the last year we have heard so much about the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people here in the UK and across the world. There are so many displaced, injured and vulnerable children and young people around the world. Here in the UK, too, we have children who have been traumatised by the after-effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, domestic abuse, family break ups – or simply the oppressions of contemporary society.
As a result, I have chosen this verse from Matthew Chapter 19 as the theme for this year’s Lent Call:
‘Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.’
The annual Lent Call provides an opportunity for all of us to pray for young people who are in need, to reflect on their situations and to give whatever we can to support their wellbeing.
