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.
IG, who has fallen on hard times, has mobility issues and, due to little contact with community, friends or family, faces isolation and struggles daily. A regular at our Newcastle centre, he comes for company, warmth, food and support. Often forced to choose between food and energy, IG would greatly benefit from an air-fryer. At £50, this appliance would let him cook meals affordably, using less energy than an oven. Your help would bring warmth, dignity and hope to IG during this challenging time.
Still £50 left to donate
