Fighting Poverty in Bournemouth
Our church partners with Christians Against Poverty (CAP UK) to support local people here in Bournemouth who are facing unmanageable debt. At LOVECHURCH we’ve seen how poverty robs people of dignity, hope and opportunities, and together with CAP we’re determined to fight back.

CAP Debt Advice
CAP offers a unique Debt Help service to empower our clients to get out of poverty and be free from fear and worry of overwhelming debts.
The CAP Debt Centre provides vital support to those struggling with debt, large or small. The CAP team know and understand the stress of life when you are stuck in debt and they are available to provide the vital support and help you need to get your life back on track.
If you’re struggling with debt, please call the free, confidential helpline on 0800 328 0006. They will help you take the first steps to becoming debt free.
The Money Course
The CAP Money Course is free and will help you manage your money better and learn how to budget, save and spend well. In just a few weeks, you will get to grips with your finances so you can budget, save and prevent debt.
If you want to take complete control of your finances, then this course will be ideal for you.
If you’re interested in coming along to the money course then sign up below and we’ll be in touch with dates as soon as possible!
We are always looking for more brilliant people to get involved with CAP at LOVECHURCH. There are a few different ways you can get involved:
Become a befriender: Befrienders come along on client visits to focus on the non-debt needs of the client such as inviting them into community, helping to gather paperwork, inviting to events and sharing the gospel.
Join the prayer team. Prayer is the foundation of everything we do. Our next prayer meeting is on the 13th November at the Tudor Hall (behind St Swithuns). We would love to see you there! We also sent out a monthly prayer email which you can sign up for.
Become a Money Coach: Our money courses are run by trained Money Coaches who receive full training from CAP on their unique budgeting system. As a Money Coach you teach these principles throughout the Money Course and work with the group to help them manage their finances in a way that works for them.
Help with running a Money Course: If you love the sound of helping with the Money Course but don’t want to crunch numbers, we always need people who are gifted in hospitality to make our courses feel welcoming and warm.
Support our clients: Sometimes clients need a bit of extra support like someone to pick up a food parcel for them, give them a lift to church or to just take them for a coffee. If you don’t want to commit to something regular but might want to help now and then this is a great opportunity!
Just fill in the form below and one of the team will be in touch soon!
