CAP Sutton, “Hope in hopeless situations.”

If you are struggling with debt or unemployment, or just want to know more about how to manage your money better, then the CAP Sutton team is here to help you.

What is CAP?

Christians Against Poverty (CAP) is a nationwide network providing free and practical advice and support to help people escape from poverty. Set up in 1996, CAP has helped thousands of people across the UK – replacing fear with hope.

UnitedLife is partnering with Christians Against Poverty (CAP) to provide free face-to-face debt help, as well as money management and life skills courses. We also run a drop-in service and a Jobs Club.

All our CAP services are free, friendly and open to everyone – regardless of faith, age, gender, race, disability or sexual orientation.

“CAP is unsurpassed when it comes to the debt help they give people across the country. There’s nothing better to start you on the path of having more money in your pocket.”
— Martin Lewis, Money Saving Expert

Kate, CAP money course delegate

“I found the CAP Money Course to be a great tool to help with budgeting. It has helped me have control over my finances rather than them having control over me.”

How can I help CAP Sutton?

At CAP Sutton, we believe that we are called by Jesus to serve our local community by offering hope and practical support to help people escape poverty. We are always looking for volunteers to join our team, whether as a coach, mentor or befriender. All training is provided.
