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.
This single man has learning difficulties and struggles to cope with domestic tasks. He does all his cooking in a microwave, but his has broken. He is also unable to get his washing dry, as his neighbour refuses to allow him to put up a washing line in their shared back garden. This man feels overwhelmed and has allowed dirty washing to pile up. A rotary clothes line in front of his ground floor flat would help him to cope better. As he is repaying a water debt, this man has no money left from his benefits.
Still £120 left to donate
Total needed £120Y, who has recently moved into an unfurnished Social Housing flat, has very few belongings and is struggling to furnish her home. She has been donated a bed, but the property has no window coverings and, as it looks out onto a busy residential area, she is having to use blankets and towels to cover the windows. Y, who receives minimal benefits, is struggling with debt, so can't afford curtains and blinds herself. Your support would cover four windows in her living room, bedroom and kitchen.
Still £150 left to donate
Total needed £150M and her children were living with her family, but fled their home, due to familial conflict and honour-based abuse. They were staying in temporary accommodation, but have now secured more permanent housing. They don't have a washing machine, which means keeping their clothing and bedding clean, and involves regular time-consuming and costly trips to the launderette. M is already struggling financially, as the sole carer for her children, and living independently for the first time.
