Welcome to Generous
If you are 11-23 and want to act now to change the world one step at a time, then this is the place to start. Sign up for free and each month we will send you a suggested action, news and feedback.
Generous is about joy not judgment. Doing something, however small, rather than nothing. It's about making changes to your behaviour—one action at a time—so that the way you live your daily life shifts in favour of our planet and her people.
And Generous is about community not compulsion. That's why you'll find collective totals of individual actions all over the site and why there are talk forums where you can share with fellow generous Methodists your successes and frustrations.
Generous is a journey… welcome. You're in good company. JOIN NOW
