CAP: Offering Hope, Freedom and a Fresh Start
Christians Against Poverty (CAP) is a national debt counselling charity that works through a network of local church-based debt centres, supported by its head office in Bradford. Through its Debt Help service, CAP offers practical solutions and renewed hope to people struggling with debt.
At its heart is a desire to demonstrate God's love in action by providing sustainable poverty relief through professional debt counselling, advice and hands-on support. CAP seeks to empower people to break free from poverty and to overcome the fear, stress and isolation often caused by overwhelming debt.
The CAP Mole Valley Debt Centre transferred from Bookham Baptist Church to Crossways Baptist Church in Dorking at the beginning of 2026, following many years of faithful ministry in Bookham. During that time, the centre helped relieve around £1 million of debt for local people. St George's and St Giles' became a funding partner in the centre in February 2026.
Alongside our financial support, members of the congregation also contribute their time and expertise. Paul Goodridge and Tony Hopper serve as volunteer befrienders, walking alongside clients and supporting them through the often-challenging journey towards becoming debt-free. Phil Marlow has trained as a CAP Money Coach and runs the CAP Money Course, equipping people with the skills and confidence to manage their finances and avoid falling into debt. The first course took place in October at the Leatherhead Employment Hub, where it was delivered to a small group of 18 to 24 year olds.
In October, the monthly CAP prayer meeting was hosted in the Dell Prayer Room. The gathering was well attended by representatives from partner churches and members of our World Mission Team, providing an encouraging opportunity to pray for the ongoing work of CAP across the area.

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” Jesus
— Matthew 25:35-36
