Proposed benefits cuts, combined with rising bills, risk pushing vulnerable people into debt and poverty. Will you step in to help?

The most vulnerable are being put at greater risk of falling even deeper into spiralling poverty and debt. CAP’s enhanced support, delivered through the local church, is needed more than ever.

Steve (pictured above) has been delivering debt help to CAP clients for the last ten years. And over the last decade he’s seen first-hand how the situation has grown worse.

I saw more people who were more at risk, more vulnerable, more in trouble… it’s just so tough out there.

The difference your gift can make

Debt coaches like Steve are already seeing too many people who don’t have enough to live on, with rising costs leaving many struggling to afford basic essentials. Any further cuts to welfare may push more people deeper into debt and poverty.

For someone vulnerable, there’s only one way to break the cycle of debt and poverty. And that’s you, stepping in to provide Christ-centred, face-to-face, ongoing care and support.

Your Easter gift means vulnerable people won’t only get debt help. Instead, they’ll receive unique, whole-person, life-changing support to meet their individual needs.

Five ways you enable local churches to help where poverty hits hardest

Easing anxiety

When debt letters become overwhelming, your support enables our debt coaches to scoop up the post, sort it out and ease the anxiety.

Face-to-face meetings

Your support provides regular face-to-face meetings and check-in calls with clients, all carried out by compassionate Christians like Steve.

We wait patiently

When the pressure gets too much and someone feels unable to work with us, your support means we wait patiently until they feel able to continue.

We sit by their side

When someone finds it difficult to use the internet, your support means we sit by their side and help fill in the forms

Extra care

For those who have experienced domestic abuse, your support provides extra care – like a text message before every call, so they know it’s safe to answer. We put people first, caring for them as individuals.
