You may like to pick one suggestion each week or try to complete them all it’s completely up to you we just encourage you to ACT.
14th-19th March – Serve (Love) the World
-Get rid of graffiti. Check with your local council and chat with your neighbours, the school-run/coffee mums, the guys on the rugby team, and see who you can gather together to help.
-It’s easy to feel powerless in the face of large-scale injustice or to switch off when it comes to national or international events. Take stock of what you feel passionate about then write a letter, add your name to a campaign, or share something on social media.
-Make a practical difference today to those seeking refuge. Men, in particular, this is your time for a clear-out (groups supporting refugees often report that they receive low numbers of good quality men’s clothes).
-Plant a tree for the Jubilee – www.queensgreencanopy.org
- Try wearing the same clothes for a week - Around 2.6 billion people in the world lack basic sanitation. This will give you a taste of what life is like for them.
- Live Below the Line Challenge - More than 660 million people without sanitation live on less than $2 a day (about £1) Try living for five days with £1 a day for all food and drink to support people living in hunger. Find out more at www.thehungerproject.org.uk

We’ve grouped together suggestions of ways to serve for each week in lent from the Platinum Jubilee Website
Perhaps during Lent we can make a dint into the suggested 70 acts of service before the Jubilee in June!
