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.
Having been in prison, this man has lived in hostels for a couple of years and has now got his own unfurnished flat. Due to numerous physical and mental health issues, he is unable to work and his only income is Universal Credit. This man is trying very hard to start afresh and make his flat into a home. He has found a second-hand sofa and wardrobe, and would really appreciate your help in buying these. He currently has a sofa a neighbour put out as rubbish, and has his clothes in bin bags. Thanks.

Total needed £200P was a musician before they had to flee their home country as a refugee. They have severe mental health issues, due to trauma, and are virtually a recluse. Our health team has been supporting to try and reintegrate them into society. P has been gifted a guitar which can help them to lead a more rewarding life and feel the enjoyment and accomplishment that comes with playing an instrument. We would be grateful for any donations towards the restringing, carry strap, plectrum and tuner for the guitar.

She was made redundant before Christmas and is trying to find full-time employment, but has only currently managed to find part-time work and has a benefit claim pending. Whilst floor coverings are being supplied to her, this young woman cannot afford to have them fitted. Your help in funding this would make a huge difference to her and transform where she lives. Thank you.

Total needed £200M was homeless following significant trauma which led to an alcohol addiction. She has been supported into accommodation, has been alcohol free for six months, and started volunteering at a local community project. M is shortly going back into education to work towards becoming a support worker. Her flat doesn't have a fridge freezer and she has a low income so can't afford one. Your support would mean M could store food safely, enabling her to shop and eat more healthily and affordably.
