The Trócaire Lent Appeal 2026 is an annual fundraising campaign that invites people to come together during Lent to support communities around the world facing poverty, climate change, and humanitarian crises. The appeal often highlights the experiences of real families and villages whose lives are being disrupted by extreme weather, lack of access to basic needs, and environmental injustice, and shows how small acts of solidarity can make a big difference.
How people can support the appeal:
Donate online: Supporters can give a one-off or regular gift through the Trócaire website.
Lent fundraising: People, schools and parishes can organise fundraising activities such as collection events, sponsored challenges or creative events to raise money.
Use a Trócaire Box: Many supporters use the traditional Trócaire box throughout Lent to collect donations at home or in community groups and then return the total after Easter.
Spread awareness: Sharing information about the appeal on social media or in local communities helps highlight the challenges faced by vulnerable communities and encourages others to give.
All funds raised help Trócaire’s partners deliver life-changing programmes that support education, sustainable farming, clean water, emergency relief and climate resilience in some of the world’s poorest regions.
