New debt counselling centre opens in Narborough

Local people struggling with overwhelming personal debt are set to get free help from a charity opening a new centre in Narborough.

Growing debt counselling charity Christians Against Poverty (CAP) is opening 37 new church-based debt centres around the UK including one in Narborough, School Lane.

The opening will mean that Blaby District people will be able to enjoy the debt help already offered by neighbouring centres in Wigston and Leicester City.

Narborough's new centre manager Katie Johnson said: "Members of our congregation were becoming more and more concerned about people in our community finding it really tough to keep their heads above water. We know it's the hardest thing in the world to ask for help but we want people to know that however bad a situation can look, there is a tried and tested way out and it starts with putting the kettle on, taking a deep breath and then ringing our helpline 0800 328 0006 to speak to someone who really cares."

CAP offers people a uniquely in-depth, caring service to people with spiralling personal debt.
Every client is booked in for a visit from the local centre manager in their own home; all the bills and outstanding mail from creditors are removed and responded to by CAP's Bradford head office. Then the household is supported and encouraged to combat the isolation many clients say they feel as they tried to cope alone.

The charity has 190 centres around the UK currently supporting £71m of secondary debts for its clients regardless of income, age, gender, background or faith.
