No matter where you are in life, if you’re experiencing a divorce, retirement, death of a spouse, graduation, new job, new car, new house, wedding, new baby - we are here for you during these changes in life, with experience, guidance you can follow, and a path to a better life.

The service is free and we are not selling any products. Our friendly team will visit you in your own home and offer practical solutions to your finances (due to COVID, visits can be elsewhere if you prefer). CAP's services can help you to overcome financial difficulties, create a household budget, help you make a plan to repay debt, maintain or obtain homeownership for the very first time or understand bankruptcy options. 

CAP offer financial tools and educational resources that you can use to gain confidence and success in managing your finances!

What will happen when I contact CAP?

When you call CAP, you’ll speak to someone from our friendly Credit Counseling Team. We will book an appointment for you and a CAP Center Manager will come out to visit you in your home (during this COVID-19 season we are offering the CAP's service using telephone/video calls or socially distanced visits).

If you can gather all your paperwork together, this will make the process a lot quicker. Our CAP Center Manager will happily sort through it all, and send it digitally and securely to CAP's head office, where we’ll look at your finances, work out a budget, offer advice and look at the best route out of debt for you. CAP want to see you through to financial freedom and beyond.

Does it cost anything?

No. Our service is completely free. We are able to provide a totally free service because CAP is a not for profit organization and receives donations from churches and individuals who want to help people.

Do I have to be a Christian?

Not at all, our services are for everyone. As Christians, we believe that God answers prayer, so we may offer to pray with you, but it’s up to you if you’re happy for us to do this or not. CAP helps anyone, regardless of religious beliefs, race, nationality, age, gender, marital status, sexual orientation or disability.
