ACTS 435
We are a partner with Acts 435 - an online giving charity, directly connecting those who want to give with those who are in genuine need of help.
When so many people need so much help, giving can sometimes feel hit and miss, and choosing between charities can be hard. Acts 435 puts people who can give in touch with people who are in need with the Church as the physical, face-to-face forum to enable virtual, online giving.
Acts 435 seeks to resource churches as they show God's love in action by loving their neighbours and caring for the vulnerable. We believe that local churches provide the best model for partnering because they share our ethos, are on the ground in a local community and know who is in genuine need whilst able to connect with potential new donors through their congregations. However, we do not limit our partners to churches in recognition of the great work local charities do which enables us to reach more people who we can help.
Acts 435 runs through a network of churches and charities that are recruited directly and through key partners like Christians Against Poverty and Trussell Trust. They appoint an Acts 435 representative, called the Advocate, who is trained by Acts 435 and then posts requests directly onto our website for people in their community who are in need.
CHRISTMAS MEAL
Every year we partner with The Hope Foundation to host a Christmas Meal for those in the local community who may be isolated, vulnerable or simply unable to afford a meal for themselves or their family. Guests receive a 3 course meal served by a dedicated team of volunteers, with prizes, games, live entertainment and music. Since 2012 over 2,000 people have received a meal on Christmas Day with the help of over 300 volunteers. If you would like to know more about this year's meal please email christmasmeal@the-hope-foundation.co.uk
