How it works
100% of your donation goes to the recipient's need and you receive a thank you update when the need has been met
A local church or charity becomes an Acts 435 partner
Partners post urgent needs on behalf of people in their community
Donors read stories of need and give through the Acts 435 platform
Partner contacts person in need and gives the item so desperately needed
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.

The average time for a need to be fully funded is currently 10 days
£120 needed for a mobile phone and travel to appointments
This lady has no income of her own and no access to benefits or public funds. She has no settled home of her own. She has health problems that make day to day life difficult, and our organisation is supporting her with an immigration application that could change her circumstances completely. She has no working phone, which means her caseworker has no reliable way of reaching her, and contact has already been lost more than once because of it. She also has appointments she needs to attend in person and cannot afford the fares. This donation would buy her a simple basic phone with some credit and cover her travel, so that she can stay contactable and keep her case moving. Thank you for anything you are able to give.
£200 needed for flooring
Mum is at home with a child who has anxiety based school refusal (so mum cannot work). Universal Credit doesn't stretch enough for her to save anything outside of covering necessary bills. Mum and daughter need help to replace their flooring that has recently been damaged by a dog. New flooring would prevent further damage. They have limited support and are isolated in their community.
£200 needed for a washing machine
We have been journeying with this client for 18 months. She has experienced physical, sexual, and psychological abuse over a sustained period but is now open to ask for help, although this makes her feel vulnerable and scared. Her second-hand washing machine has broken and it would be a precious gift to provide her with a new one and meet a very practical and immediate need, easing some of the pressure she is currently carrying.
£150 needed for school uniforms
This young mum from Syria has three school age boys and a new baby boy. The new arrival has impacted the family finances just at a time when the boys need new school uniforms, especially the 4 year old who is starting school. Some help with the uniforms would be a huge help to the family.
£105 needed for a travel document
M due to an unfortunate illegal eviction, has become homeless. Whilst we are resolving this situation he is also trying to regain all of his personal items that he lost during the eviction, one of which was his travel document. MT would like this as it means he is more easily able to access housing and prove his identity, but is not able to afford this as he is on benefits and this is covering essentials whilst he is rough sleeping. M would be incredibly grateful for help to fund this item.
£200 needed for paint and carpets for children's bedrooms
This family of four fled violence in Sri Lanka and have been granted leave to remain in the UK. They have been given a council house and will move in next week. They have managed to buy enough paint to clean up the living room and kitchen but the children's bedrooms are dirty and need paint and carpets. They need furniture but are happy to wait until they find jobs. Both parents are actively seeking work now they are allowed to.
£200 needed for a washing machine
Y is a single parent with two children. He is in significant financial hardship following illness in the family. His washing machine broke eight months ago which has led to him handwashing his and his children’s clothes in the shower as he cannot afford to go to the laundrette. Y would be incredibly grateful for any support towards the cost of a new washing machine so he does not need to continue to handwash these clothes. Thank you
£200 needed for heating oil
B is a 59 year old man living on his own. He is a CAP client being considered for a Debt Relief Order because, although he is employed, he is working on a very low income which is making it difficult for him to pay his ordinary household bills. His physical health is not good and he has been in hospital several times recently. He is also receiving treatment for depression. He is anxious about heating his home and would be really grateful for any help we can provide to pay for this. Thank you.
£200 needed for a TV and support with energy and food
This young person has recently moved into supported accommodation. She suffers immensely with her mental health and would appreciate any support to buy a second hand TV so she can keep her mind occupied and feel less lonely during this daunting time. She has never lived alone so budgeting skills will be something she will work on with her support worker. Living alone can be difficult so the rest of the funds will be used to support her with energy and food while she learns this vital skill.
