THE Archbishop of York’s online giving charity, Acts 435, has announced that it has helped its 10,000th person in need.
Acts 435 is an online website which allows people to give money directly to others. Managed through a network of churches and local charities, it is designed to get 100 per cent of donations quickly to those in need.
Donors choose who to give their money to and the charity is fully self-sustaining with Gift Aid covering total administration costs.
The Archbishop, Dr John Sentamu, said: “What Acts 435 is achieving is wonderful – imagine how much more could be done if we had 1,000 churches involved, not just 250.
“It works and it is easy to use. Donors are responding. Churches – let’s seize the moment and use Acts 435 to contribute to the common good.”
