The Diocese of London Lent Appeal for 2022 will focus on raising awareness around issues of mental health & wellbeing for adults and young people, along with domestic abuse.

Hosted by the Compassionate Communities team, the aim of the appeal is to cultivate more compassionate communities by equipping churches to create safe spaces for those in their parish and promoting holistic wellbeing for all staff and church members too.

We will be raising money to support three partner charities who are all offering resources and bespoke training to churches as we work to achieve this:

Renew Wellbeing helping churches create quiet safe spaces where its ok to not be ok

Restored equipping the Church to end domestic abuse and create a safe place for survivors of abuse

Be Headstrong supporting young people and those who come alongside them in their social, emotional and spiritual development (Part of Youthscape)
