How it works
100% of your donation goes to the recipient's need and you receive a thank you update when the need has been met
A local church or charity becomes an Acts 435 partner
Partners post urgent needs on behalf of people in their community
Donors read stories of need and give through the Acts 435 platform
Partner contacts person in need and gives the item so desperately needed
It's meant that he can stay warm without worrying about high heating bills and without worrying about filling up a hot water bottle that's only going to warm up one small area at a time. It's safer for him as well.

£150 needed for a television
We have met a young care experienced person who has moved into his new property, is currently on his own for the first time in a while and is struggling with this. His television is currently broken and he would really appreciate having a new one to provide some distraction while he builds his independent life and tries to make his flat a home.
£200 needed for a hallway carpet
Our client has fled domestic abuse and just been housed in a new property without any flooring. They are trying hard to re-build their life after fleeing and have found themselves in a new area, away from their support network. We would like to support our client with a new carpet for their hallway to help them in their fresh start. Please can you help?
£200 needed for a refurbished laptop
H is an asylum seeker who arrived in our area four months ago, having left his family in Syria, and receives £9 per week in financial support. This client has engaged with our organisation, attending different activities such as English language classes, chess club and lunch, sport and cultural events each week. R needs help to buy refurbished laptop to practice his English as he doesn't have any English, and would be very grateful for your support.
£130 needed for a laptop
We are supporting a man from Afghanistan who is seeking asylum here. He has a background in civil engineering and it would be a great help to him if he could have a laptop to help him learn English and practice his civil engineering studies. A laptop would enable him to run civil engineering programmes and do construction drawings digitally. His hope, as he looks to establish himself in this new country, is to get a job in construction. The gift of a laptop would give him a real lift.
£200 needed for a basic laptop
J is trying to study English and improve his computer skills. He is really keen to develop beyond basic computer use to have a chance at teaching himself coding to an employable level. J is putting a lot of time into studying, but is limited because he can't access a computer outside of library times and a limited time in college. He moved to the UK as a young adult and has no formal qualifications here so a laptop would significantly improve his job seeking chances and opportunities for the future.
£160 needed for four pairs of curtains and four curtain poles
This young mum and her son have moved into a council house from a refuge, as they were fleeing domestic abuse. The property is not decorated and has no flooring. They have asked for help with curtains and poles for four windows. Mum is unable to work as she suffers with back issues and receives Personal Independence Payment and Universal Credit. Any help you could give to start making this into a home would be gratefully received. Thanks.

M, her husband and their two children have recently come to the UK from East Africa and been housed in emergency accommodation. They are looking for work, but in the meantime they have needed help to navigate the system of benefits, utilities and all that comes with being in a new country. They need help to buy bedding, duvets, pillows and bed linen for the whole family.
£200 needed for food vouchers and a gas bill
N has experienced lots of suffering from an early age. In her darkest moment she met Jesus, and since then her life has changed massively. Unfortunately, her past has left her with many health issues which has an impact on her finances, but with the help of Christians Against Poverty, she is managing her finances well and is on a very good way to become debt free eventually. This winter, N sadly missed out on the winter fuel help. Please can you help us to help her to pay her heating bill and put something towards food?
£200 needed for a double mattress and sheets
L sleeps on a very old mattress, making his back issues worse. He struggles with depression and severe anxiety. Medication helps, but he still has good and very bad days. L has asked the local Christians Against Poverty team to help him sort out his finances, and has been very proactive in bringing information. It takes a lot of energy for him to get his head round the complexities of life, but he is willing to put in the effort. Please can you help us to support him and make his life more bearable with a new mattress and sheets?
