CAP Teignbridge Debt Centre
Christians Against Poverty
Chudleigh Parish Church is the lead church for CAP Teignbridge, which works to provide free debt help to those struggling with unmanageable debt, along with practical and emotional support, and to show people that there is always hope.
Tim Wigley - Debt Centre Manager & Debt Coach for CAP Teignbridge - writes:
We meet clients face-to-face in their homes, with the support of a network of befrienders from local churches. Many of our clients are vulnerable and suffer with mental health and physical health problems, which are often the cause of getting into debt. We receive referrals from Citizen’s Advice, DWP/Job Centre, Housing Associations, Social Prescribers and Food Banks.
“We have just received our Christmas hamper and we can’t thank you enough for your help. What an amazing thing you have done for us. Thank you so much.”
“Thanks so much. It feels like a weight has been lifted already off my shoulders”
With the support of specialist debt advisors at CAP Head Office in Bradford, a sustainable budget is put together for each client, together with debt advice and recommended routes out of debt e.g. a Debt Repayment Plan or Insolvency.
Since CAP Teignbridge opened in 2013, the total amount of debt written off or repaid stands at over £770,000.
We offer clients the opportunity for us to pray for them, and this often leads to conversations about God and faith. We support clients on their journey out of debt, which can often be a long process.
We are funded by the generosity of churches and individuals across Teignbridge, and we receive no financial support from CAP head office. A HUGE thanks to Chudleigh Parish Church for taking on the role of lead church, and for the directors of CAP Teignbridge and their oversight.
“It’s literally changed my life”
In the UK, in 2026, almost 1 in 5 people (14.2 million) are in poverty. More than a third of those in poverty are children (4.5 million) and almost half (6.8 million) are in ‘very deep poverty’, with an income less than two thirds of the poverty line. This is both the highest absolute number of people, and the highest proportion, on record.
In the last 30 years CAP on its own has advised 80,000 people and provided solutions to 35,000 people clearing £0.5 billion in crushing debt for some of the most vulnerable people in the UK.
Following our coming together with Community Money Advice, the new CAP Group has now officially become the largest specialist community-based debt help provider in the UK.
In December we prepare and organise the delivery of Christmas Hampers to all current CAP clients, which is a real help to those struggling to even put food on the table or heat their homes.
