Getting finances back on track

Christians Against Poverty, the national debt counselling charity, is running a three-week course through its established CAP Centre in Coleraine.

With over 500 successful CAP Money courses already up and running across the UK, delegates for the course will be offered teaching on good money management skills, budgeting tips and overall advice on how to curtail expenditure.

The course will be run in partnership with the Causeway Coast Vineyard Church and is open to everyone, whether they’re Christian or not.

The course begins on Monday, May 10 from 7pm to 8.30pm and will be held at Starbucks, Coleraine over the three weeks. Free coffee or tea will be provided.

Trained CAP Money Coaches Ricky Wright and David Kelly will be on hand to lead the sessions and offer practical advice. The course also boasts the feature of providing access to CAP’s debt counselling services for those with acute financial needs.

David Kelly, CAP Money Coach, said: “We’re thrilled to be able to launch CAP Money in Coleraine. With the recession still creating havoc with people’s finances, it’s a critical time for us to step in and help.

“Through the course we aim to bring hope to those in financial difficulty in the local community. Whilst many in the UK are reeling from the effects of the financial crisis, we are convinced that, with the launch of CAP Money, many will be saved from slipping further into debt, whilst picking up excellent financial skills that will stand them in good stead for the rest of their lives.”

Spaces are limited, so those wanting to attend the CAP Money course should call 028 7083 3335 to register their place and confirm details.
