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

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.

£200 needed for a wheelchair with leg supports
G is part of our community and receives Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment (PIP). He has physical disabilities so can't walk far and has a small scooter, but it keeps breaking. His PIP doesn't include the mobility element so our team has reviewed his disability claim and awaits the decision letter. Hopefully, it is granted and he can sign up for the mobility scheme. G would like support to buy a wheelchair with leg supports, as he is finding it hard being isolated and he could rely on a wheelchair when his scooter breaks down.
£130 needed for carpet for a bedroom
P is an elderly man who was referred to us by a Social Prescriber worried about his living conditions. P was moved into permanent housing last year with bare concrete floors. P. relies on his pension and he incurred quite a few costs in the move so is unable to afford carpet. Please will you help make P's home warmer & more comfortable for him.
£180 needed for basic toiletries and clothing for mum
J, a single mother and sole carer of a two year old, is unable to work due to her immigration status. The family is destitute and sleeping in a friend's living room. J and her child rely on charities and are unable to afford basics like toilet paper. Unlike her child, mum is unable to get clothing from baby banks. £60 of this request will go towards hygiene items including toilet paper, laundry, detergent and a hairbrush. £120 will go towards shoes, simple clothes and underwear.
£135 needed for a laptop
We are supporting a young man who has recently arrived in the UK from Sudan, seeking asylum. He is proving to be very keen to improve his English to help him get a job, and he would love a laptop which would enable him to go on studying and find more resources outside of his taught classes. We are keen to encourage his enthusiasm and it would be lovely if he could have a laptop to help his studies.
£115 needed for cooker installation
This gentleman recently moved into a new social housing flat due to mobility issues and no longer has a cooker. He is working hard to clear his debts and has just started a low income part‑time job. Without a cooker, he cannot prepare hot meals, which is affecting his health and finances. Please can you donate to help pay for the installation of a new electric cooker that this gentleman needs so he can eat better and keep costs down so it helps him clear debts.
£100 needed for underwear, shoes and shirts
J has just secured a job, dependent on his probation period, and will need to wear a suit, tie and shoes for his role. These funds are needed to buy underwear, shoes and shirts. J will not get paid until he has finished his probationary period.
£200 needed for a cooker
S is retired and is receiving state pension only. His cooker was condemned just before Christmas and he has been struggling to save for a new one. He has been relying on the 'meals on wheels' service and using a microwave to cook. However, the meals are very expensive and S is skipping meals to save money. His family doesn't live in the area and he doesn't want to burden them with asking for help.
£80 needed for a pushchair
Y is a single mother with three young children, including a two year old, K. They recently moved out of a place with mould, and K's old pushchair has black bits on it. Y is worried about how the mould is affecting their health, and that it might bring mould into the new accommodation as well. There are no local baby banks that can support this specific item. A new pushchair will help Y and K with a breath of fresh air, and keep them healthy. Please can you help Y get a new, mould-free pushchair?
£200 needed for a sofa and cushions
This client has been a victim of an acid attack which has left him blind in both eyes. He is currently receiving psychotherapy support for post traumatic stress disorder. The support is being given by the Baobab Community for survivors in Exile. As the client is unable to look for work at present, he is in receipt of both Universal credit and Personal Independence Payment. He said he would really like a sofa in his temporary accommodation, which he would be able to take with him if he gets moved at any time. Many thanks for helping this young guy.
