This can lead to debt, which puts a strain on every aspect of life. Crawley CAP centre aims to help people get back into work and avoid the trappings of debt.

CAP also understands the challenges of living on a low income and offers a friendly place where you’ll gain practical skills and discover new ways to live a brighter future.

Adenike Johnson from Crawley CAP centre summarised it well when she said: “Crawley is such a special place, not just locally but internationally as well.

“No matter who you are, Crawley CAP centre is here to help.”

There was a fantastic community spirit in the room as we were shown a presentation on how the pandemic has really hit the people of Crawley the hardest.

Christians against poverty offer a range of different services to the local community, which includes a job club that helps job candidates to improve essential skills in finding a job, such as CV writing, interview technique and the value of volunteering.

They also offer other help in the form of debt advice, life skills training, a breakfast morning, Christmas donations and so much more.
