Speaking upfor those in need

Thankfully, the local church is very active in this area, supporting and speaking up for those in need.

Hide AdDebt-counselling charity Christians Against Poverty, which has local centres in Bexhill, see families under enormous pressure who have either resorted to debt and seen it spiral or who have suffered sudden changes in circumstances that have knocked them off course.
In our latest client survey, well over half of those with children said their debt affected their ability to provide for them, and a third said they were unable to give them three meals a day.
Anyone wanting to find out more about our work locally, support what we do or see if we can help with spiralling debts with our free, professional and caring service, should call 0800 328 0006 or log on to: www.capuk.org
