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.

This woman, who was referred to us by partner agencies, has no recourse to public funds. Her son is sleeping in a travel cot, which a health visitor has deemed unsafe as it no longer suits his needs. Without access to public funds, mum cannot afford a toddler bed, mattress, or enough food. At St Vincent de Paul, we urgently seek your help to provide a bed, mattress and bedding for the child, as well, as well as a food parcel for the family to support them for a month. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
