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, who works with our debt centre and got into debt in a domestic abusive relationship, is making payments, but her income is very low. She has anxiety and suffers from chronic pain as her spine is disintegrating. L had a shower fitted into her social housing house a few years ago, as she can't get in and out of the bath. As she fitted it herself, there is nobody to help now that it is broken. L is having to clean herself stood up at the sink, and it would take her months to save the money needed to have it replaced.
Still £165 left to donate
Total needed £200Our client, a lovely lady who has learning difficulties, is forty eight years old and is so happy and smiling. She comes to our local church and has approached me for help with food and heating. Having got to the bottom of her problems, A has been paying an awful lot of her benefits to a scammer who told her she was helping children who live in poverty. Our client is now in arrears with her gas, and has no food. Please can you help with food, and gas arrears of £149. Thank you.
