Christians Against Poverty (CAP)

Christians Against Poverty is a national debt counselling charity with a network of over 150 centres based in local churches. CAP offers hope and a solution to anyone in debt through its unique, in-depth service.

CAP provides sustainable poverty relief through a combination of award-winning debt counselling, specialist 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. CAP’s service teaches clients vital budgeting skills that will last a lifetime, and help future generations avoid debt.

The charity began in 1996 when John Kirkby, armed with a £10 donation and a passion for those in need, started to help people in his local community who were trapped in debt. Now, it is a fast-paced, growing organisation whose vision is to answer the national problem of debt in the UK by having at least one CAP Debt Centre operating in every major town and city by the year 2015. Since 1996, over 45,000 people have been helped by the organisation.
