On 3 August, Stephen visited the Christians Against Poverty (CAP) head office in Bradford. He met with the Chief Executive, Paula Stringer, and some of the charity’s debt advisors.
CAP is a charity tackling the causes of poverty by empowering local churches to provide free debt advice and budgeting skills. Since 2010, they have helped over 20,000 people become debt free.
After meeting with the Chief Executive and debt advisors to discuss ways in which MPs and CAP can work together to help reduce debt in the UK, Stephen was given a tour of the charity’s new office, as they expand their team.
Speaking after his visit, Stephen said: “I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to CAP’s head office. It was great to meet with the Chief Executive and hear from CAP debt advisors. I applaud CAP’s volunteers around the country for their remarkable work to help people out of debt and poverty. Their work is more important than ever during this cost of living crisis.”
