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 client is a young parent who had a difficult childhood and was in local authority care for many years. She recently fled from an abusive relationship in order to keep her child, and suffers with poor mental health, due to past experiences. This client moved into a hostel when she left the perpetrator and has now been offered an unfurnished tenancy. She cannot afford to set up her new home as she is reliant upon Universal Credit. Could you please help towards the cost of a washing machine?
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200C is a single parent who is socially isolated, having moved to a new area after fleeing domestic abuse, and is being supported by Women’s Aid. Mum and her two year old are now living in a council property, but they do not have a washing machine. C's child is still in nappies and mum is having to hand wash all their clothes as best she can. She has limited family support and is struggling financially. C has previously injured her hands and wrists, so the handwashing is taking its toll.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200E is trying to escape violence from her adult son who has attacked her on several occasions. The damage he has caused has left her in debt, and she is also extremely stressed, as she does not feel safe in her own home. E has no means of heating food, apart from an oven, which limits what she can cook and has sometimes meant relying on takeaways when she would much rather cook her own food. E needs a microwave and a portable induction hob, items she can take with her when she is able to move to other accommodation.
