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.

£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.
£150 needed for a bike, helmet and lock
M is a client of Christians Against Poverty and is also on a journey with the Criminal Justice system. He is doing amazingly well cooperating with a range of agencies. He lives on a very tight budget, has just landed a small part time job - hopefully more work to come. M has just had his moped stolen from outside his house and sadly it wasn't insured for theft. We'd love to help him buy a push bike from a local charity that refurbishes old bikes. Thank you for reading this.
£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.
£200 needed for a washing machine
C, who lives in Cornwall with three young boys, works with us at our Christians Against Poverty centre and is engaging well. She has her own mental health struggles, one of her boys has a severe learning disability and another one suffers with epilepsy. C has been without a washing machine for a few weeks and is hand washing all her laundry at home. She has started to attend our church and has involved herself in a couple of our midweek groups where she is a delightful friend and support to others.
£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.
£110 needed for van repairs
M, a single parent and a carer, is struggling with debt and cannot afford a new clutch for his van. He uses his van to recycle push bikes that he gives away to people in need. M's van is essential for his caring post, as he supports a young single carer with shopping, dog walking and garden work. M has various health issues, including arthritis and high blood pressure. When he was well, he worked as a homeless crisis worker and has been a youth worker and foster carer.
£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.
