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 woman, who was referred to us by the Social Prescriber, was forced to move from her flat, due to severe abuse and threatening behaviour from neighbours, which escalated to the point that the police became involved. In addition to this trauma, this woman suffers from multiple physical health problems, including spinal cauda equina. The only piece of furniture she was able to take with her is a fridge. We urgently request your assistance with a washing machine, including delivery and installation.

Total needed £200Until last year, this lady was living independently, working, and caring for her adult son who has Asperger's. Then her world changed when she collapsed with a brain aneurysm. Mum spent months in hospital and is now having to learn to walk and look after herself again. She has a small flat, gets help from debt support, and has deliveries of frozen meals. As this lady has no space to store these meals, she would really love a small freezer so she can eat well without the stress of having to ask for help with shopping.
Still £105 left to donate
Total needed £140This woman has been a long-time user of our services, due to debilitating long-term health problems, both physical and mental. She recently moved into a new flat which, unfortunately, has no furniture or white goods, apart from a fridge. This lack of basic necessities is severely affecting her mental health, and she is particularly distressed by her inability to clean her clothes. We are urgently seeking your help to provide her with a washing machine, which would greatly improve her situation .
