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 young person that I am currently supporting has been accepted onto a degree with Open University. The course starts on 5th February and she needs a laptop to complete the course work. This young person only receives Universal Credit so has no way of affording this herself. Any help would be appreciated which, of course, will mean everything to her as it will open so many employment opportunities.
Still £95 left to donate
Total needed £200H is a carer for her 4 year old daughter who has Downs Syndrome. She used to have a sewing machine back home before she moved to the UK, and she used to make and repair clothes for the family. New clothes are expensive and tailoring services, which do not exist near her house, are often more expensive than buying new. She is on Universal Credit so wouldn't be able to afford one otherwise as her income will only cover her essentials.
Still £150 left to donate
Total needed £150A. is an asylum seeker who has gone through a lot. He has several disabilities but is keen to do more learning online. He only has a phone, and having his own laptop would make a huge difference to his life. Thank you so much for helping him.
Still £170 left to donate
Total needed £170M is a refugee who has recently received his leave to remain. He is keen to find a job and do further studies while still improving his English skills. Having his own laptop would help him a lot to establish his new life, to keep accessing learning and apply for jobs. Thank you so much for helping him with this.
Still £170 left to donate
Total needed £170Mum is a survivor of Domestic Violence and cares for a 13-year-old and a 20 year old who is at university. She was homeless for 2 years; 1.5 years ago she was provided with a home, but she had to take out a loan for carpets and decorating. She receives Universal Credit but the household outgoings exceed her income and we are providing Food Bank support. Their TV is broken and needs replacing. With your kind donations we want to help.
