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.
L has worked very hard with support workers since January and is now turning her life around. She receives support from Change Grow Live (CGL) and we have worked with Kirklees Housing to manage her previous rent arrears. L has now been offered a new property, but has very little furniture to move in. She would like a double bed with a mattress and a microwave to help her get started. After paying her arrears, L is unable to afford anything. Her partner also supports her and will be staying over frequently.
