Christians Against Poverty
CAP’s holistic debt counselling service is run in partnership with hundreds of churches throughout the UK and provides the best debt help service to those with the very least. CAP started running CAP Money Courses in partnership with local churches to help people budget, save and prevent debt, and now offers Job Clubs to help people back into employment. The free, one-of-a-kind debt counselling service works with each unique client to create a budget that prioritizes food and rent, negotiate with creditors and establish a long-term repayment plan—so that people become completely debt free.
Paul Larcombe is CAP's Centre Manager in Weston super Mare. He can be contacted on 07563 880577 or paullarcombe@capuk.org
