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.

A is a single mum of three children whose violent husband was removed by Social Services. He left her with large rent arrears that, with Christians Against Poverty's help, she is tackling, but mum needs help paying her bills. Your donation will help her top-up A's electricity and gas for the winter, and a small part will go towards her phone bill.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200This young person was refused asylum, but the Home Office sent a decision to the wrong address and whilst we are supporting him to appeal, he is now homeless and struggling financially as he lost the support he was receiving from the Home Office. This young person needs support to buy a monthly bus travel pass so he can travel to us to resolve his legal issues and to receive mental health support, and a £50 food voucher to allow him to survive until his appeal is hopefully reinstated.
Still £150 left to donate
Total needed £150This elderly, diabetic asylum seeker has been in the UK for thirteen years. Originally caring for her sister's children, she has suffered mistreatment. In a Local Authority hotel after rough sleeping, she lacks funds, cooking or washing facilities, and also needs diabetic appropriate food for the next few weeks, clothing and toiletries. Pending a schedule 10 application for asylum support and permanent housing, this lady (at the age of seventy seven) remains extremely vulnerable. Funds would restore some dignity and stability, pending her Home Office decision.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200J, who lives on her own and receives benefits, is subject to the benefit cap, due to high rent. She has managed to maintain her rent, but it leaves her with very little to live on and she has to use food banks for support. J has multiple health problems and is currently not putting her heating on as she can't afford to top-up, so is very cold. She isn't able to have a washing machine so has extra costs for this as well. Your support to assist her with a food voucher and heating would be really helpful to her.
Still £150 left to donate
Total needed £150L needs a fridge freezer after a serious fire in her home. She has managed to scrape together most other items so far, but needs help with this larger item. L, who has two small children, has done remarkably well to remain positive through a really upsetting time. Please can you help?
