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.

K has had to move out of private rented accommodation with her three children, due to major damp and water ingress issues which were so bad they caused a small electrical fire. The council has rehomed them, but they have to start from scratch, including replacing their clothes, due to the damp and mildew. There are no white goods in the accommodation and there is no money to reach all that needs to be covered. A cooker and a washing machine has already been sourced, but K is still in need of a fridge freezer.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200C is an asylum seeker who is studying hard at college to get his Maths and English qualifications. He is a keen learner, but it is really difficult for him to do his homework and access all the necessary information online without his own laptop. Thank you for helping C to succeed in his learning so that he can seek further qualifications and find a job, once he is allowed to work.
Still £160 left to donate
Total needed £160O is an asylum seeker who regularly attends our support drop-ins and also takes part in our twice weekly English classes. It is difficult for him to do his homework and access any information or additional English classes online with only a phone. We would love to get him his own laptop. Thank you so much for helping him with this!
