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.
S has worked hard to get to a point that he is ready to regain his independence. He could really benefit from some extra lessons before taking his test later this year. S is desperate to get his driving licence to open his job opportunities, as he has previously worked in highway maintenance and would like to get back into this sector. With employment, this will really set S on the road to be able to secure and maintain accommodation. Each lesson is an hour and a half long, and this will cover 4 lessons.
