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.
Our client, J, was homeless and is now housed in a small flat. The living room has a bare concrete floor and they need a carpet for this, but are struggling to afford it. At the moment, they cannot work because they have mental health issues, and are having to manage on Personal Independence Payment and incapacity benefits. Having a decent carpet in the living room would make their flat feel much more like a home.
Still £105 left to donate
Total needed £200B is a single parent who has recently moved into a new property with his four year-old son. They are looking to make a new start together following dad recently securing custody of his son. B was previously housed in temporary accommodation by a charity that helps those at risk of homelessness. He is looking for work, as well as helping his son to settle into a new school. B's only income is Universal Credit and Child Benefit, and he needs some help with furnishing their home, a fridge being his priority.
