Confidence for a new school year

During last year’s School Uniform Appeal, Acts 435 donors generously stepped in to support this family.

*Jayne, is a single mum of twin children, after losing her job she found herself in a difficult financial situation, over the summer holidays.

Anxiety grew as she knew she didn’t have enough funds to pay for basic school uniforms for her two children. She reached out to a local charity in the area and they were able to put a request for help up on the Acts 435 website.

Our wonderful donors were able to step in and support the family by providing money to purchase school jumpers, shirts and shoes.

Jayne was overwhelmed with support shown:

“I can’t begin to express how much your support has meant to me. As a single mum to twins, the start of the school year can be incredibly stressful, especially when finances are tight. Your generous gift allowed me to buy their uniforms and shoes and seeing them walk into school feeling proud and prepared brought tears to my eyes.

You didn’t just help with clothing, you gave my children confidence and helped me feel less alone in a moment of real need. Thank you for being there when it mattered most. Your kindness will stay with us for a long time.”

You can provide a child with the confidence they need to start a new school year.
