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 is a full-time carer for his wife, who suffers from leukaemia, and his four children, aged from six to nineteen. They live in a housing association property, and struggle to get by on Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment. All four children have suffered from a dust mite allergy and asthma since moving into the property. They have taken expert medical advice, which confirms they need to remove the carpeting and replace with hard flooring. This change would transform their health.

Total needed £200This lady suffers from sciatica, anxiety and depression, and is currently having investigations into seizures. Her partner of twenty years died recently, two days after being diagnosed with cancer. All benefits have been suspended whilst the change in circumstances is being worked through. This lady's washing machine has broken and, due to the sciatica, she is unable to make the 25-35 minute walk to the launderette; which is even longer home, as it is up hill. We are requesting a washing machine to support her.
