Christians Against Poverty
CAP’s support is holistic. Debt is often symptomatic of other issues and as a result many people struggle simply to deal with life.
When you contact CAP, an appointment is booked which will take place in your home.
The CAP debt coach arrives with a volunteer support worker and, before long, a budget is in place as well as a plan to get out of debt (CAP does not pay the debts).
The team supports you every step of the way through to debt freedom. There is always a solution.
Debt can be very isolating but through CAP’s service clients feel supported, empowered and valued – but never judged.
CAP also offers budgeting courses (CAP Money), support for those with life-limiting dependencies (Fresh Start) as well as help back into employment (CAP Job Clubs).I walked away from a difficult marriage and ended up with nothing. I was in debt and felt ashamed to admit I needed help. I went to Citizen’s Advice who told me about CAP. It took me a while but when I eventually contacted CAP, I was treated like a person and they didn’t judge me. The help they gave was amazing! I received help from the food bank and also did my CAP Money course. I am now debt free, I have a new job and life is good!”
