At Countess, we believe in the power of hope and transformation. That’s why we’re committed to supporting the Ely CAP Debt Centre, part of the CAP UK network, alongside other churches in Ely. We know that debt can be a heavy burden, and we want to be part of the solution. Through financial support, volunteering, and prayer, we’re helping Ely CAP bring practical help and lasting change to people’s lives. Supporting Ely CAP is one of the ways we’re actively working to create a more just and fair society.
With CAP I was heard and listened to – this was massive for me!

A Fresh Start: How CAP is Transforming Lives in Ely
A man is referred to us, having recently been moved into sheltered accommodation. He was forced to move due to a relationship breakup and repeated financial abuse from his former partner. Suffering with severe dyslexia, as well as anxiety problems, he also has severe medical problems affecting his breathing. Because CAP offers a unique face to face process, we were able to help through the forms required to set up a DRO (debt relief order). This meant that he no longer faced the anxiety and concern that calls & letters from creditors bring. We could also work out a budget and show a way forward that enables him to live. With renewed confidence, he has become involved in a local church where he finds a supportive community.
I had major issues with money – I needed help. My CAP debt ‘coach’ patiently waited and stuck with me to help me get things together, and finally on a path to resolving my debt and finance issues.
