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.
Safe Families are supporting an Iranian refugee who arrived in the UK in the summer 2023, with his twelve year old son. They have recently been rehoused and do not have a vacuum cleaner, microwave or all of the kitchen equipment that they need, such as cutlery and crockery. The family is on a low income and does not have the finances to equip the home. We would love to provide them with a voucher so dad can prioritise his and his son’s requirements, and purchase some items for their new home.
Still £45 left to donate
Total needed £200This lady, who is also the primary carer for her husband who lost his mobility, needs bed bug treatment. Unfortunately, their home is infested with bed bugs and, even though a new bed is being bought, their home needs to be treated for the bed bugs to avoid a repeat. This pest issue has brought undue pain and hardship to them, causing them to move out of their home. This lady will be glad if her request is granted so that she can return to normal life.
