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 has come from supported living where he resided for eleven months. Previous to this, he lived in his car as he was suffering serious mental health issues. J is now trying to get his life back on track and has a new property but it has no flooring down. His only income is Universal Credit and he has no savings. Flooring in the property would greatly improve his mental health; currently his home his cold, damp and miserable. Carpets have kindly been supplied, but any help with fitting costs would be a huge help to J.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200C is a single mum of three children who is living in a cold, damp house with no carpets. Mum and the children rarely use downstairs as it’s too cold with stone floors. C isn’t working, has no savings and only receives Universal Credit. We would love to make her house into a home and can carpet it for free, but just need a little help with the cost of fitting. Any help would be an absolute Godsend.
Still £150 left to donate
Total needed £200B is a single mum of two fleeing domestic violence. Her only income is Universal Credit and she has no savings. Mum has effectively had to start her home again from scratch, which has been a real challenge. The house she is now living in has no floor coverings down, which is far from ideal as her children are very active and there is a risk of injury. We have an offer of free carpets, but need help with the fitting costs. Any financial support would be very gratefully received.
Still £150 left to donate
Total needed £200C, a single mum with one child, has a number of psychical disabilities including bulging discs and a trapped sciatic nerve. Her only income is from disability benefits and she has no savings. C has no carpets in her bedrooms, hallway and kitchen. Carpeting her home will impact hugely on her mental health and overall wellbeing. We have an offer of free carpets, but need help with fitting costs. Any support would be very gratefully received.
