Kay Street is the lead church for the Christians Against Poverty (CAP) Rossendale Debt Centre which provides a free, home based debt counselling service for those in unmanageable debt within the BB4 and OL13 postcodes. CAP is a national award-winning debt management charity and the local centre is delivered by a partnership of churches across the Rossendale Valley. If you feel weighed down by debt, we can help. Our Debt Coach and a volunteer befriender will visit you in your home. CAP helps people regardless of their religious beliefs. Our service is not suitable for those who are self employed or have business debts but we can signpost you to other sources of help.

What we do

Our Debt Coach will visit you in your home or somewhere else local to you. CAP will build you a budget and recommend options for your way out of debt so you can become debt free. In most cases a CAP Plan is set up for you. You will need to make one monthly payment into your CAP Plan to cover debts and also bills if appropriate. CAP will then distribute this on your behalf, taking the pressure off you having to speak with the people you owe money to. You can also build up savings through your CAP Plan. If you are in severe debt, we can walk you through insolvency options. Our service is completely free of charge.
