Christian team offers free Norfolk money course

As the recession shows no sign of abating, a national Christian charity has announced that it will be offering local residents in Norfolk the chance to get their finances back on track with a free money management course called CAP Money.

Christians Against Poverty, the national debt counselling charity, is running the three-week course through its established CAP Centre in Aylsham.

 

With over 400 successful CAP Money courses already up and running across the UK, delegates for the course will be offered teaching on good money management skills, budgeting tips and overall advice on how to curtail expenditure. The course will be run in partnership with Aylsham Community Church and open to everyone, whether they’re Christian or not. The course begins on Thursday September 9, at 7pm and will be held at the Jubilee Family Centre, Norwich Road, Aylsham, Norfolk, NR11 6JG.

 

Trained CAP Money Coach, Angie Rusbridge (pictured above) will be on hand to lead the sessions and offer practical advice. The course also boasts the feature of providing access to CAP’s debt counselling services for those with acute financial needs.

 

Angie Rusbridge, CAP Money Coach, said: “We’re thrilled to be able to run CAP Money in Aylsham. With the recession still creating havoc with people’s finances, it’s a critical time for us to step in and help.

 

“Through the course we aim to bring hope to those in financial difficulty in the local community. Whilst many in the UK are reeling from the effects of the financial crisis, we are convinced that, with CAP Money, many will be saved from slipping further into debt, whilst picking up excellent financial skills that will stand them in good stead for the rest of their lives.”

 

Those wanting to attend the CAP Money course can contact Angie Rusbridge on 01263 733332 to confirm details.

 

CAP Money is available for churches to run for a one-off subscription of just £150. The price includes thorough training by CAP of up to three volunteers as Money Coaches, all the materials and priority access to CAP Direct. Courses are then offered free to all delegates.
