Christians Against Poverty launches new centres across UK

Christians Against Poverty (CAP), the national debt counselling charity, today launched CAP Volunteer Centres throughout the UK in a move that will enable significantly more local churches to help the poor in their communities through debt counselling.

In addition to Christians Against Poverty’s long-established and successful ‘CAP Centre’ model, the charity will also be offering all churches the opportunity to launch centres staffed by volunteers, reducing the financial commitment on local congregations without jeopardising the quality of debt counselling undertaken.

The charity currently has 65 centres across the UK and hopes that the addition of the ‘CAP Volunteer Centre’ model will let more churches offer hope to those trapped by debt in their local communities.
