CRAWLEY CAP CENTRE

Crawley CAP Centre works in partnership with local churches and with the national charity, Christians Against Poverty (CAP). The Centre provides a high quality debt counselling service in association with the national CAP charity, helping clients to become debt free. We offer a CAP Money Course to develop budgeting skills, and we may develop further CAP services over time.
