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 lived with his wife and children until the relationship broke down. For ten years he sofa-surfed, slept rough and rode night buses. He was referred to the rough sleepers team in 2022, was placed in temporary accommodation and now has permanent secure housing. Previously, a working independent man, he now has a medical condition which has left him unable to work. A fridge freezer would enable J to eat more healthily and better manage his limited income of Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment.
Still £95 left to donate
Total needed £200S was living in Young Men's Christian Association accommodation when she became ill, and has been in hospital for a few weeks. She has had to be moved to a complex with warden supervision, as her previous home was unsuitable, considering her now reduced mobility and increased care needs. Unfortunately, the property has no flooring and the occupational therapist has stated that non-slip flooring will make it safe for her. S only receives her pension so cannot cover the cost of this, therefore, she would really appreciate your support. Many thanks.
