Andover's MP has praised a debt centre on its fifth anniversary for giving people "hope" during difficult times.

Kit Malthouse visited the Christians Against Poverty (CAP) Debt Centre in Andover to mark the occasion, recognising the centre's work in supporting individuals and families through financial hardship.

Mr Malthouse said: "It was a privilege to join the team at Andover Christians Against Poverty Debt Centre to celebrate their fifth anniversary and recognise the incredible difference they have made to our community.

"Sarah and her volunteers have spent the last five years standing alongside local people facing some of the toughest moments of their lives.

"Whether debt has been caused by redundancy, ill health, relationship breakdown or the rising cost of living, it can quickly become overwhelming and leave people feeling trapped with nowhere to turn.

"What makes the CAP Debt Centre so special is that it offers far more than financial advice.

"It gives people hope, practical support and the confidence to rebuild their lives.

"They are transforming lives every single day, often quietly and without recognition.

"If you are able to support their work, I would encourage you to consider making a donation so they can continue helping local families when they need it most.”

Members of the public can support the Andover CAP Debt Centre by making a donation through the Christians Against Poverty website at capuk.org/appeals/summer-appeal.
