The Bury Project is seeking to recruit a second part-time CAP DEBT COACH (either paid or voluntary) to help further the work of Christians Against Poverty across Bury.
We are looking for someone who wants to engage in the mission to reach out to those who are struggling with the burden of unmanageable debt. It will suit someone who is passionate about wanting to share their faith, and to introduce people to Jesus. The Trustees invite applications for this post.
Those interested should ask for a detailed application pack from gordon.clark@capuk.org or by calling 07341 270238.
The closing date is 24th March 2024.
(Please publicise this in your local churches)
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.
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.’
Phone CAP to ask for a referral to the local Debt Centre for help.
The debt coach will listen to you, note your circumstances, outline what help is available, and say what will be expected of you during the process.
Based on the information you provide, CAP will make an affordable budget plan and outline what action is recommended to get you out of debt.
The debt coach will help you work through the action plan with CAP, getting additional advice when needed, and will celebrate with you when you become debt free.
