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.

S is a refugee from Iraq who moved to Birmingham this week. His Universal Credit payments have been stopped, due to an incomplete and overdue to-do list, so he currently has no income to support his daily living. S is deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, which also makes life very difficult and, along with his lack of English language, he cannot find a job. Any donations would support his daily living costs, including kitchen utensils, an air fryer and food so he can cook meals for himself.
Still £180 left to donate
Total needed £180D has been living in shared/supported accommodation for many years, but has recently managed to secure full-time employment in the catering industry (he is a qualified chef). Due to living in supported accommodation, he can only work sixteen hours a week or he will be evicted. D has been able to obtain a one bedroom flat which he will move into on the 26th May. It is partially furnished, but does not have a bed or a wardrobe. Please could we request donations to obtain a bed, mattress and a wardrobe for him?
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200K, a single mum of twin teenage girls, works hard as a care worker and claims Universal Credit to make ends meet. She has had a tenancy with a reasonable rent, but the landlord now has a Section 21 order to evict her. K has been unable to find anything affordable privately, so has applied to the local council for accommodation and her furniture has to go into storage. Our charity is funding the move itself, but please can Acts 435 donors help K find £22 per week for two months storage costs?
