CAP client, Holly, sat in her living room, smiling at the camera

Holly found herself in spiralling credit card debt after a relationship breakdown. She then found out she was pregnant and her working hours were also cut in half. This is the story of how Holly found the support she needed through CAP and her local church.

CAP client, Paul, stood outside, wearing a grey jumper and smiling at the camera

Paul got into trouble with the police and went to prison. He struggled to settle down in a good job and fell behind on his rent. When rent arrears started creeping up, he found CAP’s number on a leaflet at his doctor’s surgery. That’s when he got in touch with CAP and found hope through his local debt centre.

CAP client, Melinda, stood outside in a garden, smiling and looking up at the sky

Melinda struggled with mental health problems and was forced to choose between buying essentials or paying the bills. Melinda’s local church then stepped in, supporting her to become debt free and find a renewed faith again.

CAP client, Julie, outside in a park, smiling with her arms open wide

Julie, a single parent who was overwhelmed with debt, became terrified of every knock on the door in fear of enforcement agents. With help from local CAP worker, Hannah, Julie could start the process to become debt free and gain control of her life, letting her be in a better place, emotionally, physically and mentally.’

CAP client, Simon, stood outside smiling at the camera, with a large wooden cross propped up against a tree in the background

After Simon’s wife passed away, he was left with managing the finances on his own. The debt started to build up and Simon lived in fear of eviction, suffering with mental health problems. Simon hadn’t had visitors in two years, so the personalised home visits from his debt coach, Jim, helped him gain back his confidence.
