News in brief

Our yearly client report shines a light on the experiences of the people we help – before, during and after their time with CAP. With the effects of the pandemic, energy crisis and higher cost of living all impacting heavily on our service and clients, this year’s report is an insightful and compelling read.

Next month, we’ll be launching the report to MPs, creditors, think tanks and more at a special Westminster event. Sponsored by the Lord Bishop of Durham and taking place at the Cholmondeley Suite in the House of Lords, this is an incredible opportunity to amplify the voices of people living in UK poverty and urge those in power to take vitally-needed action.

You can read the report here. In the meantime, why not consider what you could do to help influence those in power, such as writing to your local MP to start a conversation about poverty in your area and across the UK?

You may have heard that later this year we’ll be relocating, which means moving day is edging ever closer for our Bradford head office team! Less than a mile away from our current offices, Jubilee House is a more accessible, practical and cost effective building to house our head office staff as we continue to grow and improve our services. Check out a bird’s eye view above.

Please join us in praying for all the logistics that come with a move of this scale. We have around 400 staff members and lots of equipment to relocate! We’re also hoping to minimise disruption to our debt service as much as possible. We’ll keep you posted on the new address in due course.

We’re excited that UCB will be highlighting the work of CAP and the Church over the summer, including a special ​‘takeover’ starting on Monday 5 September. We’ll be turning up the volume on UK poverty and raising vital funds for our helpline: the first port of call for new clients seeking support.
