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.

They have applied for asylum support but this will take time. In the meantime, they have only the clothes they travelled with, and no belongings. They urgently need your support with one month's travel costs to visit the solicitor, winter shoes and coat, and toiletries.
