CAP (Christians Against Poverty) Money, sponsored by St. Mary’s Church in Nantwich, is now offering face to face coaching, with Covid measures in place.

CAP Money is a simple, yet highly effective money management course that teaches people budgeting skills and a cash-based system that really works. This course will help anyone to get more in control of their finances, so they can save, give and prevent debt.

The first course session starts 26th October, followed by two further sessions 2nd and 9th November, the location being Nantwich Methodist Church, Hospital Street, Nantwich, CW5 5RP. All sessions start at 10.00am. Numbers are limited to 8 to meet Covid distancing rules and to deliver an effective course to the delegates.
