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.
V lives with her teenage daughter. They have recently been moved and the property has no carpets in either the daughter's bedroom or the hallway. She receives Universal Credit, but is struggling to make ends meet, especially following the increased costs of the move. V would really appreciate your support. Many thanks.
Still £115 left to donate
Total needed £170This lady, who has been referred to us by the local Housing Authority, is struggling as her housing benefit has been reduced, due to her being overpaid previously, and she also has rent arrears. Mum has four teenage children who are in desperate need of some new clothes. This request is for two of her children and there will be a separate request for the other two. A gift of £200 would be gratefully appreciated, especially as we approach the colder weather. Thank you.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200This is a second request to cover the cost of new clothing for two of this lady's four children. She has fallen into rent arrears, due to her housing benefit being cut, as she was previously overpaid. A gift of £200 would provide warm clothing for them, especially needed now as the weather gets colder. Thank you for your consideration.
