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.

J was in a domestic violence relationship and fled her home to stay with a friend. She is now looking to return to her flat, but there are items that do not work or that she does not have. J is currently unemployed and reliant on benefits, which don't stretch far enough to allow her to purchase a cooker. She would be grateful of your support so she can make a home again for her and her daughter. Many thanks.

Total needed £125Our client has several health issues, including severe heart problems (he will have open heart surgery very soon), high blood pressure, diabetes and a hernia. He is unable to work and receives Personal Independence Payment for these conditions. Our client also receives Universal Credit and will receive his state pension next month. He was moved into this accommodation during Covid, but has no basic amenities. It would really help him to have a fridge freezer so he can start to look after himself.

Total needed £200We have been supporting this client who is homeless. We were able to find him an unfurnished home through Lease for Life and the company has a new fridge freezer that they have said they would sell to our client for £200, a great price for the make and model. Our client came to us and asked if we would be able to support him with the funding to purchase it. We would love to be able to raise the funds to gift him this fridge freezer and get him moved into his new home.

Total needed £200This family that we have been supporting are now now debt free, doing great work on their budget and managing their money. Unfortunately, their tumble dryer has broken down and is unable to be repaired. The family, who do not have the savings set aside, and are coping now, but come the autumn and winter, when they rely on it for the children's clothes, they will need a replacement. They have come to us one last time to ask if there is anything we can do to support them. The family have a disabled adult and a child with special educational needs (SEN). They rely on the tumble dryer to dry the clothes, especially in the winter.
