About the Bishop’s Lent Call 2026
Each year, the Bishop’s Lent Call raises funds for community projects across Southwark Diocese and our Link Dioceses in Zimbabwe and Jerusalem.
For 2026, the Lent Call is focusing on projects that support the work of schools — helping children and young people to flourish both here in our own diocese and in communities overseas.
To help raise funds, the School is running a book raffle, giving families the chance to win a selection of fantastic children’s books. All profits will go directly towards the Lent Call projects, helping to strengthen schools and widen opportunities for young people.
Thank you for taking part and helping us make a meaningful difference to children both near and far.
