40acts:
Do Lent generously
Starts 18 February 2026
Join thousands this Lent for a 40-day generosity challenge – building habits, deepening faith and reflecting the heart of Jesus through everyday acts.
Each day offers a simple invitation to give, bless, and grow in generosity – one act at a time.
40acts is happening again in 2026.
Every day there will be a new challenge.
From writing a note of encouragement to someone, to buying a gift for a friend.
All you've got to do is sign up and respond to the daily prompts. Give it a go and see if it doesn't grow your heart in generosity towards your neighbour.
Track your 40acts. Build the habit.
This year, 40acts comes to life through your Stewardship Giving Account app.
It’s more than just a way to give, it’s your personal hub for daily acts, reflections and putting generosity in action. You’ll be able to set aside funds to give with purpose as opportunities arise, track your daily progress and build momentum.
Whether you’re giving time, money or kindness, your Giving Account helps you make generosity a habit – one act at a time.
Follow 40acts. Share the journey.
Each day this Lent, we’ll share real stories, reflections, and moments of generosity across our social channels, along with fresh content from creators you’ll love, including The Way and other voices from across the 40acts community.
See how others are living the challenge. Be inspired by faith in action. And share how the journey is shaping you.
Lead the challenge. Champion generosity.
40acts has always grown through people like you – those who don’t just take part, but lead the way.
Whether you're rallying your church, inspiring a small group, or motivating friends at work or uni, you'll get access to everything you need: free tools, templates and resources to help you guide others through 40 days of intentional generosity.
This year, you’ll also be able to track your group’s progress, share stories, and pray together – building momentum that stretches far beyond Lent.
