Who we are
The Brighton Light Trust is the charitable trust behind the Brighton & Hove CAP Debt Centre run in partnership with Holland Road Baptist Church in Hove.
Where we are
We currently have 3 debt coaches ( 2 full-time employed and 1 volunteer) who, using the Christians Against Poverty model, can see 6 new clients a month. We currently have 50 existing clients. We have already seen 22 people become debt-free this year so far but we would love to see more.
Where we want to be
We have a vision to draw more clients into their own community to provide peer group support , helping our clients to feel more connected and less alone in their struggles. We also want to expand our support beyond debt and emergency food provision and provide a holistic and sustainable solution to getting out of debt and back into financial freedom, providing essential life skills in communication , teamwork and practical skills to enable our clients to get back into the world of work. We are currently investigating a franchise model with local businesses to achieve this but need to raise capital to get this off the ground.
