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.
L is a young man who has been struggling with ill health. He has lost a lot of weight and is currently undergoing various tests to try and find the cause. Due to his ill health, this young man is unable to work and now has a Support Worker who is hopefully going to help him budget. L's current fridge freezer is very small and unreliable and, on the advice of his GP, he must eat more. Please would you consider helping this young man to obtain a larger appliance so that he can store food he needs to help his health? Thank you.

Please can you help mum?
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200J moved last year through the Housing Association, but the new accommodation was not furnished at all. He is on a basic State Pension, is disabled and finding it hard to get by, and is being supported by his local food bank. J desperately needs a sofa and chair, but cannot afford to buy one. Any help to enable him to get some seating, so that he has somewhere comfortable to sit and so that he can have visitors, would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
