Love Life Live Lent is a new way of marking Lent. Instead of giving up chocolate or going on a detox, it encourages people to undertake a simple act of generosity each day. The actions are small and fun to do, but make a real difference in homes, families and communities.
Love Life Live Lent began in Birmingham in 2006 and since then over 250,000 people nationwide have participated. The campaign was featured in an article in The Independent in February 2007:
“In recent years, in different corners of the globe, several movements have sprung up inviting followers to combat the selfishness of modern life by doing nice things to random strangers. If you put your mind to it, carrying out acts of kindness can start as soon as you wake up. You can be kind to people in different parts of the country, or on the other side of the world, or even be kind to the planet itself, without leaving your home.”
The new Love Life Live Lent booklets feature the best actions from the previous two years' booklets in an exciting new design. Also new for this year, the Love Life Live Lent Family Book includes the actions for both adults and kids, plus fascinating Lent and Easter facts, activities, recipes and prayers.
