Our impact

debt coach speaking to members of the community

We’ve been here for 30 years. And we’ll be here for 30 more.

Poverty destroys lives. It robs people of joy, hope and opportunities. That’s why we’ve been advocating for, and supporting people experiencing debt and poverty since 1996. For 30 years, friendly, local churches have helped tens of thousands of people find a way out of poverty and into a new future. 

Over the last 30 years:

35,000
people have become debt free 
100,000
homes have been visited for the first time 
80,000
people have received expert debt advice 
4,000
churches have partnered with CAP to deliver life-changing help in their community

CAP’s impact across the UK

Poverty is ruthless. But we won’t sit back and let it destroy lives. So we’re equipping UK churches to take on debt and poverty in their communities. And lives are being transformed.

We’re campaigning relentlessly for change. For those that need us now, and for generations to come.
