CHRISTIANS AGAINST POVERTY (CAP) GUILDFORD

At Christians Against Poverty, we won’t sit back and let poverty destroy lives. We’re a UK-wide charity that equips local churches with the tools and expertise to support people in their communities who are facing unmanageable debt and other financial challenges.

All CAP’s services are free, face-to-face and for everyone – of any faith or none.

Free CAP debt counselling in Guildford:

Grace Church is home to the CAP Guildford Debt Centre. Helen is the Debt Centre Manager and works with Laura, our Debt Coach, offering home visits to clients. 

Free CAP Courses and Job Club in Guildford:

CAP Life Skills is a friendly group designed to give you the confidence and decision-making skills needed to live on a low income. You can learn practical money-saving techniques, such as budgeting, cooking on a budget and making money go further.

CAP Money coaching is a way of organising your money: through engaging videos, discussions, activities and budgeting resources, you should leave feeling equipped and confident to manage your money.

CAP Job Club is a friendly place where you will get practical help as you seek employment. It’s a relaxed environment with the chance to meet other jobseekers, get support and gain the tools you need to find work.

Being unemployed can be hard to deal with on your own, but being part of one of the 67 CAP Job Clubs means you face the challenge with other people in similar situations.

‘‘No one in the past has ever taught me how to apply or interview, it has always been something I’ve learnt from past occurrences, or researched on my own. And as such, looking for a job can also be a lonely, often dispiriting, experience, especially when time and again you don’t succeed. Instead, the CAP Job Club has made the whole process fun!’’ – JR
