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.
M, who lives with her partner and their four children, has health problems, as do two of her children. Due to the rise in the cost of living, they have sadly amassed some large debts and are in the process of receiving help from Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB). M has also had her Personal Independence Payment stopped and CAB is assisting to appeal this decision. This cut in benefit is adding to the family's difficulties to afford essentials. Please would you consider helping this family, whilst they receive help, with some funds towards food and essentials? Thank you.
