2007 - UK Charity Times Awards: Best Charity to Work for
Christians Against Poverty is celebrating after being named “Best Charity to Work For” for the second year running at the glittering UK Charity Times Awards last Wednesday.
Matt Barlow, UK Chief Executive says, “It’s just awesome that CAP, as a Christian charity, has won this award two years in a row. Since the start, CAP has been committed to developing a fun, passionate environment, where staff really are supported and cared for, so they can serve to the very best of their abilities. We recognise that it’s God and His Spirit at the heart of all we do which has made this culture possible and made CAP simply the best charity to work for.”
The Charity Awards are national awards for all UK charities which recognise leadership and professionalism. So to win this award amongst other nominees including the British Heart Foundation, International HIV/AIDS Alliance and many others was a real coup.
All staff were given the opportunity to nominate the charity, rate it on various aspects and comment on why it should win. Having a staff team who are passionate about helping people out of debt, combined with a great working environment, meant that Christians Against Poverty received this accolade as the “Best Charity to Work For” in the UK.
Staff member Debbie Thompson comments: “CAP is the best charity to work for because we have a practical and spiritual answer to the problems of our generation. We are seeing lives completely turned around from despair to delight. At the same time we get to work with a great group of people who draw the best out of us, who give purpose and meaning to our own lives. And we have such a laugh along the way!”
