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.

The family receives Universal Credit, support from the local authority for school uniform. The children need new school shoes and financial support with topping up school lunch accounts. One of the children also needs a new coat as they have outgrown theirs.
