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 is a single mother living in rented accommodation currently claiming Universal Credit, Child Benefit and Carers Allowance. She has recently come out of a domestic violence relationship where she was severely abused. L is a full time carer for her dad and she needs to be available for him at all hours. She has moved into a new property with nothing and needs help with a fridge freezer so she can store some food so she doesn't have to go shopping at expensive local stores everyday.
Still £150 left to donate
Total needed £200L, 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.
