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 gentleman came to the centre in a distressed state, having been given a seven day notice to leave a South East Essex Homes property in Southend. He is also a type 2 diabetic who is insulin-dependent, making it highly inconvenient and unsafe for him to be on the street. We urgently request your help to house this gentleman for three nights, and provide food parcels for this period, while we collaborate with sister agencies to find a more permanent housing solution.

Total needed £200This single mother of two was referred to us by our sister organisation as she is in need of a large fridge freezer. As a single mum with a baby and a three-year-old with disabilities, the lack of a fridge freezer impacts her meal preparation and storage, causing significant stress and requiring multiple bus journeys with her children. This also strains mum's finances, and so we would also like to provide a food parcel for a couple of weeks. Any assistance towards this would be greatly appreciated.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200This woman, who is a victim of domestic violence, has been in a refuge with her two year old daughter for several months. The situation is extremely stressful, affecting her health and her child's emotional and social development. With no support network, mum has secured a tenancy in Southend, but can't move due to a lack of basic goods. We kindly request your assistance to help furnish her new home. Specifically, we need a washing machine and a month's supply of food for this mother and child. Thank you.

Total needed £200M, a single lady, is a client of the Sue Lambert Trust whose circumstances changed overnight after the recent passing of her severely disabled young son. Her benefits stopped, due to her no longer being a carer, and she made a claim for Universal Credit, but there is a five week wait for the claim to be fully processed. M is finding it difficult to manage financially, due to funeral costs and having no income for the next few weeks, and would appreciate any help towards food, bills and rent.
