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.
This person is living in supported accommodation after being made homeless. His phone has been broken for two months and this is preventing him accessing online banking, keeping in touch with his Support Worker and managing looking after his children on a weekend. He works full-time and is prioritising paying rent and building towards a future for his two young sons.
Still £40 left to donate

Thank you.
Still £175 left to donate
Total needed £175D went debt free, through our Christians Against Poverty debt centre, a few years ago. He has been managing really well on a low income since then. D is now in need of a new lightweight upright vacuum cleaner, as he has limited mobility and needs one he can operate well. His income doesn't allow him to save and D would greatly appreciate it if you are able to help him buy a new hoover without him falling back into debt?
