Everything you need for your role on the National Speaker team. 

The work you put in as a CAP Speaker is invaluable. Every talk helps to spread the word about all that God is doing through CAP and the Church across this nation. You’re a voice for the voiceless, speaking up for the poor and bringing hope wherever you go. You’re amazing!

We know your time is precious and we want to make delivering a talk as easy as possible for you. That’s why we’ve put together these handy resources. From downloadable videos to training material and information on claiming expenses, you’ll find everything you need for your talk.

If it’s physical resources you’re looking for, you can order Life Changer forms, pens, and other resources for your stand at the online resource shop here.

If you’ve yet to log into the resource shop you can email [email protected] and we’d love to help you get set up. Please make sure you place your resource order at least a week before the date of your talk.

Can’t find what you need? Drop us an email at [email protected] and we’ll sort you out.

And don’t forget to fill in this feedback form whenever you’ve finished a church talk!

Our latest resources

Danielle: Hi Speakers, so we have got some new, incredible resources with our updated branding on it. As you’ll have seen, we’ve got A story we can’t ignore’, and hopefully, yous’ll have had the opportunity to try those out in your church talks, and that they are being received well.

We have also got our new money coaching postcards. So somebody might be interested in being trained up as a Money Coach who’s in your audience, so they can take this card with them and either look us up on the website, or scan the QR code to find out more on how they can be trained.

Another thing we have is our cash gift envelope. Now this is really exciting and really handy to have, as we all at least get a fiver handed to us. And we can now put that fiver in the envelope and be like would you mind just filling in some details for us?’ and that’s really useful to have. And you can send this back as well, with your Life Changers, in your Freepost envelope.

The other exciting thing we have is our new Life Changer form, which has Melinda on it, with our updated church talk. Now the exciting thing about this form is that it has a perforated line, which means that they can take this bit hope and have information about CAP, and also spread that information on.

Another option we have is scanning the QR code and signing up there and then, but preferably we would like to fill the details in.

Now, we have got some new options on this. We have got a return address, we have got the option of one-off donation on it, and now as well this form has just been made simpler and cleaner by removing the postal address, cause that is something we can call up and get later, as we support our supporters.

So yeah, really simple. As always, just get them to fill in whether it’s monthly, one-off, or just wanting to stay up to date with CAP. So yeah. Hopefully you guys enjoy these new resources and that they go well for you, and we’re looking forward to hearing your feedback.

CAP Sunday and general talk resources

The current CAP Sunday/​general talk is based around the theme Life to the full. The framework looks at Jesus’ words in John 10:10 as well as exploring CAP’s biblical mandate. The talk starts with a video of Paul’s phone call to the CAP helpline and ends with a spoken word video called Follow the Call. This is the primary talk for all CAP Sunday and general talks.

The talk is written as a​‘framework’ rather than a​‘script’. This will give you more freedom to make the talk your own by using personal stories and your own language.

You can find the talk framework, 0800 phone call and Follow the call videos, and corresponding slides using the link below.

Launch talk resources

Money coaching launch

When a church is about to launch a new money course they are offered the opportunity of a church talk. We no longer have a specific money coaching launch framework, instead speakers are to use the current General/​CAP Sunday framework (link above) with the aim of sharing the wider work of CAP with the church.

To ensure the church is informed about money coaching, the church leader and/​or money coach will be given some helpful material to announce the details of their new money course and they are encouraged to do this during the visit.

Debt Centre launch

Here is the current framework and client storyteller video (Edith’s story) for all Debt Centre launch talks.

Life Skills launch

Here is the current framework and client storyteller video (Jenny’s story) for all Life Skills launch talks.

Job Club launch
