Debt relief charity founder with ‘passion for financial justice’ stepping back – Aberdeen Evening Express

The founder of debt relief charity Christians Against Poverty (CAP) is stepping back from his role, 25 years after the organisation was set up.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, the charitys patron, described CAP founder John Kirkby as having a passion for financial justice.

The organisation was founded in Bradford, Yorkshire, in August 1996 and works with a network of churches.

It has a commitment to its services being available to all, regardless of religion or belief.

Over the past decade or so, the charity has helped more than 20,000 people clear their debts. As well as the UK, the organisation is also established in Australia, the United States and Canada.
