Give to someone in need
Acts 435 is about giving to people directly, to help them bridge the gap when they are facing a financial crisis.
Can you help a specific person in need?
Read stories of the applicants below and give as you feel able. Any amount will make a big difference to someone who is struggling.
You can instead make a general donation and the Acts 435 team will allocate it to the most urgent requests.

Our client, who is dealing with severe mental health issues, has moved from temporary accommodation into a more permanent home to start regaining some independence. They are currently suffering from financial hardship and are in need of a washing machine to wash their clothes, as well as a cooker to be able to make hot meals at home. These items will improve their overall mental wellbeing and independence in their new home.

Total needed £200This extremely vulnerable young woman, who has been a victim of rape and sexual abuse, is moving to sheltered accommodation so that she feels safe in her home and so that her attacker no longer knows where she lives. This woman lives, who lives alone and has no family support, cannot afford a car so has no way of moving her valuables to her new property, and has no means to pay for the removal van herself.

Total needed £150We met R in prison after he found himself in custody for a first, one-off offence. He has worked all his life but, on release from prison, he had no access to his personal belongings, including his ID. He is motivated to get back into work and rebuild his life. R needs a birth certificate for his right-to-work documents but, due to having no money, he can not afford to buy one himself. Please can you help R to cover the costs for his ID so he can get work?
