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 been out of work for the past six months due to ill-health. He's now well enough to get back into employment, but has lost his right to work ID and needs help to get a copy of his birth certificate so that he is able to start a new job. Due to being out of work for so long, M is unable to fund this himself and would be very grateful if you are able to pay for him to get this vital piece of ID.
Still £35 left to donate
Total needed £35R was made redundant from his job a year ago and, at the same time, his dear wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer. She has recently died, leaving him bereft. R is struggling financially as his wife was the main earner. Our food bank is helping him out, but a donation for supermarket vouchers will allow him to use his existing funds to help pay towards the funeral arrangements, and tide him over until his benefit application is processed.
