"Thank you so much to all who donated..."


"...I didn't know where to turn..."

Acts 435 are a national registered charity who exist to help individuals and families, from any faith or background, receive help that they really need in times of vulnerability. This help can be diverse in nature; ranging from cooking and cleaning equipment to school uniforms and baby clothing. 

​

Turning Point Church are an approved advocate for Acts 435, meaning we help provide local Acts 435 support in Boscombe, Pokesdown and Southbourne. We do this by discreetly meeting with those in need, listening, and understanding what would practically help them. We then attempt to secure the appropriate funding through Acts 435 to be able to purchase the goods or services required, with the anonymised request being promoted nationally and locally.

DO YOU NEED HELP? Various areas close to the church are officially recognised as areas of 'High Deprivation', we therefore regularly promote the support available through various activities. If you are a local resident seeking help for yourself or your family, in the first instance please email hello@turningpointchurch.co.uk or text us on 07468 514739 and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

 

If you are an agency, charity or care organisation dealing with Wellbeing, such as Citizen's Advice, Foodbank, Help & Care, We Are Humans, or Access Wellbeing (list not exhaustive), and are supporting a local resident or family in the area,  you can directly make a referral to us through the button below and, if needed, invite us to any appropriate client meetings:
