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.
W, who has a mental health condition and is currently on Universal Credit, has been issued a fine of £160. When he challenged the fine, it was increased to £200. Due to his limited financial resources and ongoing mental health challenges, he is unable to afford this increased amount. Your support in helping W manage this fine would be greatly appreciated, allowing him to focus on his wellbeing without the added stress of an unaffordable penalty.
Still £110 left to donate
