Christians Against Poverty (CAP) is offering free budgeting help to struggling families, following the findings of a shocking study on UK poverty.

The charitable organisation, which works to help people in poverty, is training over 900 church volunteers to become ‘money coaches’ enabling them to provide budgeting advice to struggling families in their communities.

The recent study by The Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) found that an estimated 1.8million UK households, containing 3.8million people, of which 1 million are children, were found to be living in destitution at some point in 2022.
