We know there are many people and families in Thames, Coromandel & Hauraki who are struggling with the pressures of financial debt. Through working for over 10 years with our debt help centre clients, we have seen how these struggles can damage lives and cause both financial and relational struggles.
We are excited to announce that Equippers Church Thames is partnering with Christians Against Poverty (CAP) to launch a CAP Debt Help Centre, serving the Thames, Coromandel & Hauraki area. Your local CAP Debt Help team will visit homes, prepare an effective budget and provide long term support for clients until they are out of debt and financially free.
We would like to invite you to a morning tea at Equippers Church Thames to hear more about CAP and our new CAP Debt Help Centre.
Where: Equippers Church Thames Building – 507 Mackay Street, Thames
When: Thursday 16 August 10am – 11:20am
