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.

M has moved into her own property for the first time, but is struggling to furnish it as she has no furniture of her own. She is on Universal Credit which barely covers her daily living costs. Your support to buy a cooker would mean that M could cook and eat properly as she saves for other items that she needs, as well as reducing her expenditure by allowing her to cook and eat for herself more affordably.
Still £155 left to donate
Total needed £160J is being supported by the early intervention mental health team, due to increased levels of anxiety and paranoia which have also led to a decline in his physical health. He is engaging positively with support and attending wellbeing groups. J used to enjoy cycling before becoming unwell, and his support workers feel this would help his health and wellbeing, as well as helping him get to his groups. However, J no longer has a bike and, due to his low income, can't afford to purchase one.
Still £135 left to donate
Total needed £150W is a single mum to a young daughter. Her daughter's bed is in a very poor condition and not fit for sleeping on, but W has a limited income and can't afford to replace it. Your help to replace her daughter's bed would make a huge difference to the family.
Still £175 left to donate
Total needed £200K, who has been living in temporary accommodation, has just been offered a housing association flat of her own, but it is unfurnished and she has no furniture of her own. K has a low income and can't afford to purchase much herself. A cooker would really help her as she moves into her now home, meaning she can cook and eat healthily and affordably, helping her to save towards other items she needs.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200M is an elderly gentleman who is in ill health and has had to move across the country to be near his family. He has been offered a social housing property, but it doesn't have a washing machine and, due to his low income, M can't afford to purchase one himself. Your support to buy a washing machine would mean he could continue to look after himself and keep his clothes and bedding clean without having to rely on others.
