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, who is going through treatment for blood cancer and also has Chrone's disease, lives with her disabled partner in a council maisonette. Benefits do not cover all of her bills, debts and food, and she has had to turn to her local food bank for food. M's fridge freezer has just broken and she needs a replacement desperately. She is juggling so many stresses at the moment, and it is difficult for her to get to all of her appointments as well. Please will you help M to get a new fridge freezer?
Still £195 left to donate
Total needed £200The applicant was medically retired from her job as a nurse in 2016. She and her husband then started a café business, which went well to begin with. Unfortunately, she was then diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (joint hypermobility and susceptibility to dislocation). This means she is no longer able to work and her husband has to be her full-time carer. Debt issues resulting from the failure of the business mean the applicant needs to go bankrupt, but the fee for this is £680.
