CAP BRIDGNORTH DEBT CENTRE DEVELOPMENT

Aim

To put the CAP Bridgnorth debt centre on a more viable and long term sustainable footing.

Please can you help us raise £12,000 to keep our debt centre running?

• Around 1 in 5 people are living in poverty in the UK in 2021/2022, according to government statistics; or 14.4 million people, including roughly 4.2 million children.
• That equates to 2,400 people in Bridgnorth alone – and more than 17,000 across South Shropshire.  And these harrowing figures were captured before the cost of living crisis took its toll on the country.

Yet our debt centre was at risk of closure only 2 years ago.  Just as the cost of living crisis means the Bridgnorth Food Bank is critical, so too is the CAP Bridgnorth debt centre.

• In the past 2 years, we have helped 56 families tackle their unmanageable debts.
• 20 are now totally debt free … and their lives are transformed and hope has returned.
• 16 more are currently working their way out of debt.  We also run money management courses for all.

Will you help us secure the future of CAP Bridgnorth, your debt centre?

Every donation you make will be matched by Aviva until 14th August, up to an individual value of £250.  So if you can afford a fiver, Aviva will double that to a tenner.  If you can spare £20, we will get £40.  And, if you’re feeling extra flush and generous, a gift of £250 would be doubled to £500 … roughly the amount it costs to run our centre for a week.

Whatever amount you’re able to give will be very gratefully received and we will put it to good use for the benefit of the most needy in our community.

Bless you and thank you.
