40acts turned five! (So we threw a party...)

The party wound up and the guests slowly drifted out of the building. New friendships were formed, short speeches were made, the food, fellowship and celebration of the start of 40acts’ fifth year was coming to an end. André Saxman Brown began to play his last song of this opening night, Somewhere over the Rainbow.

40acts is that somewhere, that undefined, indescribable space of generosity in action.  During Lent people all over the globe commit to 40 days of generous acts.  Alexandra Khan, project manager for 40acts, shared that 46,000 people doing 40acts in 2014 meant that 1.8 million generous actions were performed. Debbie Wright, founder and designer of 40acts, shared the genesis of her original idea that Lent should not be about giving something up, but about giving out. 40acts - a somewhere - where generous acts come true.

Join the party and join the movement: make a generous difference this Lent! 40acts begins this February, Wednesday 18^th. You can sign up as an individual or a group at www.40acts.org.uk
