Free Debt support, Money Coaching and Job Club courses in Crawley

Having conversations about money can seem awkward. It can feel like a taboo subject, but it doesn’t have to be.

From pocket money to pensions, Talk MoneyWeek, running November 4 to 8, is an opportunity to start building money conversations into everyday life.

Crawley CAP Centre, a Crawley church partnership has been in partnership for the past nine years with national charity, Christians Against Poverty (CAP) and we provide expert debt advice, financial education and employment support in the local community. The Crawley CAP Centre offers 100% free face to face support, wether you are in debt, struggling with bills and budgeting or in need of help to gain employment.

Centre manager and money coach Rachel Dawson says: “With the soaring cost of living over the last few years, we’ve seen how important it is that people know how to successfully manage their money, whatever their income.

"Our money coaching course is here to equip people in Crawley to do that. We’ll look at building and balancing a household budget, prioritising spending and keeping our finances stable into the future. Money coaching isn’t just about getting to grips with money practically – it’s about helping people find the freedom that comes with being in control of their finances. It can impact mental health, physical health, relationships, work life and self-belief”.

The Crawley CAP centre next Money Coaching course commences on Thursday, November 7, in partnership with Freeshop Crawley. It runs for three consecutive Thursdays 12.45pm-2.15pm at The Bewbush Centre, Dorsten Square, Bewbush RH11 8XW.

The Crawley CAP Job Clubs Manager Graham Piper says: “Job clubs offer practical support for those seeking employment. Some people just need help revamping their CV; others need guidance on how to use a computer and make online applications.

"Some of our members are long-term unemployed and others are re-starting their employment search and need somewhere safe, encouraging and committed to rebuild their confidence and motivation. We offer a friendly environment where they can do so, with the ultimate aim of getting them back into work.”
