Our Debt Centre
Bury CAP Debt Centre
We are offering free help to local people,
working with them to become debt free.
We partner with CAP, a national debt counselling charity.
Phone 0800 328 0006 for assistance.
The causes of debt are varied and can be complex. When debt gets out of control it becomes overwhelming and seriously affects family life. It can cause anxiety, family conflict, food poverty, mental health issues, and sometimes relationship breakdown. When people are helped to get free of debt their relief is profound.
A Client's Thank-you
One of our clients has said ...
‘I would like to say a massive thank you to all at CAP (Christians Against Poverty – the Bury Project is a local branch of it) for all the support and help given to me over the last 12 months. I became debt-free on 4th January 2022 and feel a huge weight off my shoulders. I would like to say a special thank you to Gordon Clark (our debt-counsellor) who has been absolutely amazing and an absolute credit to your team. Nothing was ever too much trouble, he was always there. Thank you.
I feel like I can start to live again.’
