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.

R has received Acts 435 help previously with his Council Tax and through no fault of his own, he is in arrears again. He receives Universal Credit and works part-time, but his working hours aren't consistent, which has a massive effect on his Council Tax support award. R's bill changes so often that he is never aware how much he owes, and has now received a bill for over £1000. Donations towards lowering the amount he owes would help the advocacy team here set up a more manageable payment plan for him.

Total needed £200K lives with five of her six children in a very overcrowded council house. There has been some serious water damage, due to a workman's negligence, which has left the kitchen cupboards hanging off. K is working to organise the kitchen space, but with no cupboards, this is really challenging. Having some storage solutions, boxes, baskets, drawers and a trolley, would keep items in order, improve the family's ability to keep the kitchen tidy and help K to keep on top of things.

Total needed £200C is an amazing mum to two children. She is awaiting a Disability Living Allowance decision (a wait of fifteen to twenty weeks) regarding caring for her child. Currently, her child is only able to access school for one hour each day, due to mental health, and mum is not getting any additional support around this. She has now had to stop all her work and volunteering. This is putting a huge strain on the family's finances, as C is not able to access free school meals, and is having to fund additional transport and activities for her daughter.

Dad has been living here for fifteen years and his family have just joined him. The younger children attend a local primary school and the eldest is waiting for his secondary school place. Unfortunately, dad recently lost his job so they haven't got any spare money to buy what they need. Any donations from Acts 435 would really help them set up their family home.
