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.

A, his wife and three children have recently been granted leave to stay in the UK. They have recently moved out of temporary accommodation and into their own home. They are starting from scratch with nothing, have no savings and their only income is Universal Credit. The house has no floor coverings down in any of the rooms, and it's cold and a little unsafe for the children. We have an offer of free carpets but need a little help with the fitting costs.
Still £165 left to donate
Total needed £200M is working full time but he is on a low income. He has a wife and three children to support but is struggling to make ends meet, especially with the cost of living pressures. They moved into their home nearly 2 years ago and still have not been able to afford carpets. The house is cold, damp and expensive to heat. We have an amazing offer of free carpets but we need a little help with the cost of fitting (help that would be so gratefully received).
Still £140 left to donate
Total needed £200L left a long term relationship because she was the victim of sustained domestic violence. She had been sofa surfing but has recently been able to acquire a tenancy for a property. L has no savings and isn't working because she suffers from chronic anxiety and depression. The new property is not carpeted and L feels like this is affecting her mental health. Helping L carpet the property will be huge for her. Thank you in advance.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200R has fled from a house where she was violently sexually assaulted. She has been rehoused but has had to start again with nothing. R has no savings and her only income is Universal Credit. She is really struggling with her mental health because of everything that has happened to her. We'd love to be able to make her house into a warm, comfortable home and we're hoping with a kind Acts 435 donor we can make this happen.
