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, an an older gentlemen living in supported accommodation, suffers with anxiety, depression and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). He is in recovery and being supported for this. Due to his mental health issues, M has sadly accumulated substantial debt and has sought help from his local Citizens Advice Bureau. They have advised that his only option is to go bankrupt, but he cannot afford the full fee of £680. Please would you consider supporting this gentlemen to be able to start over and concentrate on getting better, rather than worrying about debt?
