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.

J, who had been in temporary accommodation, having been homeless, was doing really well and was supported into his own accommodation. However, he then lost his job, was unable to keep up with the rent and ended up back in a hostel. J is now being supported back into new accommodation, but it doesn't have a washing machine. He is very independent and is trying to get back on track with his life. Having clean clothes will make a huge difference to J.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200A is a refugee who has just been granted leave to remain in the UK. This means that he has to leave his temporary accommodation immediately. A has secured a tenancy of his own, but it is unfurnished. He fled his home country with nothing and has not been able to work whilst his refugee claim was assessed. A has no savings, is on a low income and can't afford to furnish his flat. His most urgent need is for a washing machine so that he can keep his clothes and bedding clean.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200H is a single mum who came to England a while ago for her daughter's education. Mum is self-employed, but only able to work twenty six hours a week, as she has to look after her daughter, and is struggling to make ends meet. H's fridge has broken down and she can't afford to repair it, which means she can't keep fresh food safely and is struggling to eat healthily or affordably. Your support to replace the fridge would be greatly appreciated.
Still £175 left to donate
Total needed £175L fled her home, due to domestic violence, and has been supported into accommodation of her own where she finally feels safe. She was not able to bring any of her possessions with her, and has very little income of her own. L would really value your support in purchasing a few items of clothing, as well as a vacuum cleaner so that she can look after her new flat which she really likes.
