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.
The client was referred to us by their Support Worker after they had been struggling in their current accommodation. This individual is an asylum seeker who currently does not have any access to public funds. They are working part-time and struggling to pay for bills, expenses and food, as well as travel expenses. They have been offered a new flat which is much better and more economical. The client has already managed to save most of the deposit, but would be grateful for the remaining £200, which would help them with their fresh start.
Still £120 left to donate
Total needed £170P, who is married with one dependent child, is living in a mortgaged property. He is currently claiming Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment, and his partner is claiming Carers Allowance. The family's front door has been broken for months; the door will shut, but will not latch or lock, leaving them in a dangerous position as anyone could walk in at any time. They need help with funding a new door. We have applied to other charities and received £600 towards the cost. If you would kindly support P with £200, his family can pay the remaining costs.
