ACTS 435
We also partner with Acts 435, a Christian charity that matches donations directly to people in need. You can find out more about how to offer support here.
Acts 435 need more people and more churches to become involved. They especially need more people to be advocates. Advocates meet with people who need money and put their requests on the Acts 435 website. Advocates will be given training and ongoing support. The amount of time that advocates give can be flexible and will vary according to the church and the needs of the area. You can find out more here Advocates
Christmas Appeals
Many local projects look for additional donations at Christmas to ensure the people they work with can enjoy some festive food and a small gift. Please remember that it can take time for donations to be sorted and distributed, so they need to come in by early December. If you would like to help at Christmas in this way please contact us.
