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.
C has suffered with his mental health since he was a child and has been in and out of secure hospitals for years. He lost his last job in 2021 and has been unable to work since, due to his mental health. C receives Personal Independence Payment disability benefit. He has no cooker and is, therefore, limited in what he can cook. C would really appreciate your support in purchasing a cooker. Many thanks!
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200This woman is requesting help with housing supplies so she can start over and have the requirements, after being released from prison.

Still £195 left to donate
Total needed £200This gentleman has had a really difficult few years. He suffers from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and struggles with his mobility. After eighteen years of marriage, his wife had an affair and he had to move out of their home. This gentleman receives support from Citizen's Advice and has now been rehoused in an unfurnished flat. His few savings went on carpets, as the flat was so cold, but he has no furniture - only a mattress on the floor. A proper bed would make such a difference to his health and wellbeing.
Still £145 left to donate
