Lent Appeal 2025
This year the Bishop of Chelmsford's Lent Appeal is raising funds to support the work of Housing Justice, a Christian charity working across England and Wales to alleviate Homelessness in all its' forms. Donations will be open until 1st July 2025.
Housing Justice is a Christian charity that works in partnership with churches, community and faith groups across England and Wales to help provide those experiencing homelessness with a safe and stable home.
The work of Housing Justice can be found here and is channelled through four main projects that aim to tackle homelessness in various ways at a grassroots level. These projects are:
Citadel, Refugee Hosting and Lodging Programmes, Faith in Affordable Housing and The Winter Night Shelter and Network.

Speaking about this year’s Bishop’s Lent Appeal, The Right Reverend Dr Guli Francis-Dehqani, The Bishop of Chelmsford said:
“The funds raised through the 2025 Bishop’s Lent Appeal will help support the Christian charity Housing Justice and their work providing a community-driven and innovative response to homelessness and those in housing need. Their approach gives individuals the opportunity not only to find suitable accommodation, but to create a home and a sense of belonging. I’m pleased that through this year’s Lent Appeal, we will contribute to the variety of projects run by Housing Justice, some of which are happening in areas of our Diocese.”
