coinsChristians Against Poverty

CAP aims to show God’s love in action by providing sustainable poverty relief through debt counselling, advice and practical help. CAP’s unique ‘hands on’ approach empowers people to help themselves out of poverty and be released from the fear, oppression and worry generated by overwhelming debts. Vital financial and budgeting life skills are developed through our services, thus ensuring poverty relief is sustainable.

 

The charity operates through a growing network of centres based around the UK, all opened in partnership with a local church. Over the last ten years, the charity has grown from one man to a national charity with 41 centres open across the country.

CAP’s vision is to help answer the national problem of debt in the UK by opening a CAP centre in every major town and city by the year 2021. They have recently been in a period of consolidation and are now stepping out to achieve their 2021 vision by opening 20 centres a year from now on.
