Make Your Mark

OVER ONE HUNDRED CAP CENTRES

02 April 2009

We are celebrating the launch of our 100th church-based debt counselling centre in the UK. The demand for our service has more than doubled since Christmas, with calls from people desperate for help with their finances rising from 65 per week in December to 150 per week in March.   One Hundred Centres Celebration

We offer a free, face-to-face professional debt counselling service through local churches to anyone struggling with unmanageable debt, providing hope and a solution to thousands of people each year.

The 100th CAP Centre opens in Leicester in partnership with Leicester Christian Fellowship, and will start to see clients from 4 May 2009. The centre is one of eleven across the UK opening in May, as we pursue our aim of opening 35 new centres in 2009.

'We are so excited to be opening our 100th centre, as this marks a significant milestone in our progress towards our vision of having a centre in every UK town or city by 2021.

It is so exciting that the church will be recognised for holding the answers to one of the biggest problems in our society today, meeting people’s practical needs as well as spiritual.

We have now equipped 100 churches in the UK to offer a real solution to people in their communities, and I can’t wait to hear of the lives that will be changed as a result of these thirteen new centres reaching out to people in need.

Whilst we’ve come a long way since 1996, we’re not going to rest on our laurels, though. We have a massive vision to see this nation transformed and we urge any churches interested in partnering with us to contact us immediately. The need for our service is massive, but I know we can respond to meet that need.'
Matt Barlow, UK Chief Executive
