How will my donation be used?

Your gift will extend hope to thousands of people thrown into hardship by coronavirus. Here’s how:

£136

could get one client through to having a complete debt solution in place, ready to start on their road to becoming debt free.

£40.50

could cover the administration cost of setting up two clients’ plans so our expert teams can build their budget and begin work on their case

£23

could ensure we can answer the phone to two people, speaking hope into despair, giving valuable advice and help.

If you received our mailing in the post, you may have noticed that the amounts have changed. Your generosity blew us away, and we hit our target of £80,000 in just four days. This means not only can we provide at least 1,600 families and individuals with emergency aid, but we can make sure we’re ready to respond to the cries of those who need our help in the coming months.

We cannot take our foot off the pedal right now.

The financial impacts of coronavirus are going to be long lasting and, for thousands, this pandemic will be the tipping point into financial crisis.

We need to respond now to make sure CAP can be there for them when they call us.

Will you give today and bring hope to someone plunged into financial darkness by the coronavirus pandemic?
