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.

C is a disabled man who has been forced to flee his home due to anti-social behaviour and bullying by his neighbours. Luckily he has been rehoused by the council but it's into a property with no floor coverings. C's only income is from benefits and he spent what little savings he had on the house move. If a kind Acts 435 donor could help with the cost of fitting some donated carpets that would be amazing.
Still £135 left to donate
Total needed £200J is a single mum with a two year old son who is struggling with debt and financial difficulties. We are supporting her to get her finances back on track as she sets up her first home. J has just started working part-time, but her income is still quite low. She has most things for her new home except flooring, which is quite important for her as her son is a exuberant two year old! If we could help this young mum to pay for the fitting of free of charge carpets, it would great. Thanks for reading this.
Still £65 left to donate
Total needed £200C, who is in financial crisis and going through a Debt Relief Order, has been abused financially and physically, and is desperate to get her life back on track. After leaving a women's refuge, she has now been rehoused with a local social landlord. C wants to make her house into a home for her children, but she can't afford to carpet it as her income is low and she has no savings. If kind Acts 435 donors could help with the cost of fitting, that would be amazing.
Still £95 left to donate
Total needed £200K, who is in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, has turned her life around. She fled an abusive relationship (the cause of her alcohol problems), leaving her children. K is now trying to gain access to them, but Social Services will not allow it, as her house is not carpeted and they say it is a risk to the children's health. We would really like to bring this family back together. We have an offer of free carpets and are hoping that our kind Acts 435 donors will make that happen by supporting K with the fitting cost.
