I'm excited about the opportunity to help bring transformation to people's lives through release from poverty and debt, working together with CAP and supported by local churches. I've worked in both the voluntary and public sectors, including most recently with schools and families of children with special needs. I'm married with two adult children, and my wife and I love to travel and explore new places. I also love books , connecting with people across cultures, and the outdoors, especially the Lakes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6189070986fb910da054b7a4/1640872628058-ZN12AG07WOUBYQD4QV5W/unsplash-image-WQVTwsNCx1k.jpg Home https://www.kendaldebtcentre.org/about-3 daily 0.75 2021-12-30 https://www.kendaldebtcentre.org/contact daily 0.75 2025-01-30 https://www.kendaldebtcentre.org/donate daily 0.75 2022-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6189070986fb910da054b7a4/1b897c5c-0e00-4293-9a74-d2ea4adedd6d/STW_MAST_B_MARK_HOR_STRAP_BLACK_AW.png Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6189070986fb910da054b7a4/1e9f215f-a78f-460b-92f9-7535dc1e0b88/Cinnamon+Network_logo_RGB.jpg Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6189070986fb910da054b7a4/8cf02bac-4507-4454-ba8a-f347100bba68/Carlisle-Diocese-1-e1637662549918.png Donate https://www.kendaldebtcentre.org/stories-of-hope daily 0.75 2022-01-06 https://www.kendaldebtcentre.org/general-1 daily 0.75 2024-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6189070986fb910da054b7a4/1640867562340-2LUBFBMNW8T4L4KEA7FR/unsplash-image-rRWiVQzLm7k.jpg Volunteering - What is a befriender? A befriender is someone who has a passion for people and lives out what it means to build community. Being in debt is often linked to social isolation for many of our clients. Debt can mean having no disposable income to socialise with friends, carrying the stigma associated with being in debt and having low self-esteem. Many of our client’s lives can be a little chaotic and full of fear regarding their situations. Befrienders work closely with the Debt Coaches, accompanying them on visits and focusing on the non-debt related needs of the client, such as: - Facilitating bringing the client into community - Identifying hobbies and possible points of social connection - Introducing the client to other CAP volunteers - Providing assistance with practical tasks - Sharing the gospel. This role is client facing and would suit someone with great relationship-building skills, an open and completely non-judgmental nature, together with a heart and resilience to serve. The role is flexible with regards to what elements you will undertake, as we recognise that all services operate under a CAP model but in very different church environments. We want to equip and empower you to undertake the role in a way which best fits you and your community. https://www.kendaldebtcentre.org/safeguarding daily 0.75 2022-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6189070986fb910da054b7a4/5918176b-9428-471f-9030-7630f5677ae9/safeguardingadults.jpg https://www.kendaldebtcentre.org/money-course daily 0.75 2025-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6189070986fb910da054b7a4/1715070502986-AYAGJWLWLHT3RCCRDDP5/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6189070986fb910da054b7a4/6acde3be-8ce5-4e31-8c8b-85cac92572dd/IMG_20231029_083519224.jpg
