The Oxford Vineyard Debt Centre, established through CAP UK, has a unique ‘hands on’ approach which empowers people to help themselves out of poverty and be released from the fear, oppression and worry generated by overwhelming debts. A quarterly support worker training programme will ensure that a team of volunteers will be available and equipped to help the Debt Centre work both practically and financially.

Situation
The objective is to equip Oxford Vineyard members to fulfill a volunteer support worker role for CAP Debt Centre clients and therefore to underpin the work of the current CAP Centre Manager. Training courses will be provided four times a year for up to 25 people. The courses will consist of training in the aims and objectives of CAP, with both theory and practical sessions on how to manage debt and how to effectively support victims of debt. This will enable the Debt Centre to deal with the maximum number of clients each month and effectively help them out of debt whilst supporting them through the process.
