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 lady fled domestic violence with a very young baby. After being moved from one temporary property to another, she has now been given a permanent home. Mum has no white goods other than a cooker. As this lady only receives Universal Credit and Child Benefit, she has no spare money. We can provide a second-hand washing machine with a six month warranty with your help. Thank you.

H suffers from heart problems and is currently a client of Christians Against Poverty, working through ways to address his debts.

Total needed £200We have a resident in supported accommodation who has found social housing, which is ideal for his needs. He is now very independent and looking for voluntary work after suffering a sustained period in an abusive relationship. We are seeking funds to furnish his flat and so far have been unable to secure a washing machine. Securing this item would help him to settle into his new flat and start his new life.

Total needed £200M and her partner, who have an eight month old daughter, are both at university. Their child still sleeps in a crib, which is now too small, and she often tries to climb out of it. She could sleep in a travel cot for safety, but this can only be short term. This child desperately needs a cot and mattress. Her bedroom is near the stairs and, as she is now crawling, stairgates at the top and bottom are essential to keep her safe. Mum and dad work part-time and, therefore, have no spare money to buy these items. Thank you.

She was given several temporary homes, but is now in permanent accommodation, and is receiving Universal Credit and Child Benefit. As moving and equipping her new home was expensive, this lady has no money for a vital tumble dryer, as she has no outside drying space. We can provide a second-hand one with a warranty with your help. Thank you.
