Leave debt worry behind with CAP

A NEW service aimed at those struggling to get to grips with debt problems is offering a helping hand to those worried by their finances.

Already running successful debt counselling and advice programmes in other areas of the UK and in Belfast, CAP, or Christians Against Poverty, is an award-winning charity that is focused on helping those with financial problems get to grips with their affairs and turn the corner into a financially worry-free life.

CAP Centre Manager, Linda Leonard, who is based at Cornerstone Church in Spencer House, said the CAP initiative was launched in Londonderry in October, and in addition to offering free debt advice, laos offers a counselling service for those troubled by their financial woes.

“We work out budget plans and give people support to help them through their trouble. What we offer is particularly designed to help people who have reached their wit’s end, and has proved very successful in Belfast and Co Down.

“We would encourage people to get in touch if they are worried by debt problems. Our freephone number is 0800 328 0006,” said Linda.

The CAP organisation has produced a number of useful and informative booklets that provide advice and help in simple, easy to understand portions.

Throughout the UK the organisation has helped thousands of families in financial difficulty with a combination of advice, financial education, budgeting and insolvency services.
