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.

N, who has struggled with his finances since his wife passed away, as this was what she handled, is on a low income of Universal Credit and has no savings. He is alcohol dependent since his wife died, but is receiving support. N has agreed to move to a smaller property now he is on his own, but there are no carpets down in the house. We would love to be able to help him make his new house into a home with help from kind Acts 435 donors.
Still £160 left to donate
Total needed £200R is a twenty three year old single mum with a little boy aged two. Her only income is Universal Credit and she has no savings. R has been living with her mum, but has now been offered a property through the local authority. Unfortunately, there are no carpets anywhere in the house. R is desperate for her house to become a home and is praying that kind Acts 435 donors will help with this.
Still £160 left to donate
Total needed £200N is single and struggling financially with the cost of living and the continued rise in prices. She is working, but her salary is low and she has no savings. M is in debt and her mental health is poor, as she struggles with depression and anxiety, along with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The flat she has lived in for nearly three years has no floor coverings down and she can't afford to purchase flooring. We have an offer of free carpets, but M would be extremely grateful for any support with the cost of fitting them.
Still £80 left to donate
Total needed £200N was previously homeless, but was lucky enough to move into his current home late last year. He is working part-time, but his income is very low and he has no savings. N has been unable to fund carpets himself, so his home (minus the kitchen and bathroom) has no flooring. We have an offer of free flooring, but we just need help with the fitting costs and we're praying that kind Acts 435S donors will come to our rescue!
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200T is a single mum with three children, one of whom has autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and left the bath running by accident, flooding the house. The family had gone out for the day and the taps were running for over twelve hours. The flooring on the stairs, in the lounge and kitchen has been ruined. T doesn't have insurance and her landlord won't pay as it was entirely her fault. Her only income is Universal Credit and she has no savings, so has no hope of replacing the carpets. Any help Acts 435 can offer will be gratefully received.
