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.
L is father of a 14 month old boy, and is expecting a baby daughter with his partner on New Year’s Eve. Their only household income is Universal Credit. Their flat is provided by the council and has suffered damp and mould problems which has affected their furniture, including beds and carpets. They are worried about the living room carpet, which now needs replacing for safety reasons, particularly ahead of the arrival of the new baby. Any contributions to a new carpet would be greatly appreciated.
Still £160 left to donate
Total needed £160S is a single parent with a four year old child whose current washing machine has broken down. She is on Universal Credit, has no savings and has lots of debts. Following advice from Step Change, some of her benefit is taken to repay debts to various agencies. This is, therefore, reducing her available money to purchase a replacement machine. Any contribution to this much needed washer would be gratefully received. Thank you.
