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.
M, who is experiencing some very serious financial difficulties, lost his accommodation then became street homeless and was not able to maintain a job. This led to him experiencing a decline in his mental health, as everything in life seemed to be out of reach. M lives in a rural location and needs public transport to get anywhere, including the Department of Work and Pensions appointments. He needs £200 to clear his rent arrears, as he is now living in supported housing and only receives the very bare minimum of benefits.
Still £200 left to donate

Total needed £200This young mum, who has been a member of our social supermarket for eighteen months, suffers with severe anxiety and often struggles to get out. Her finances are stretched and she struggles to make her Universal Credit cover everything, with her energy bills are always in arrears. Mum is trying to reduce this now, as the weather is warmer, however, her two children need bedding, quilts, protectors, and pillows as they could only keep warm by wrapping up in bed. Please can we help give them a bit of luxury?
