A CHURCH has started offering debt counselling to tackle financial hardship. Members of Grace Church Thame, have united to help people who are struggling with debt by partnering with charity Christians Against Poverty (CAP) to offer debt counselling. Pastor Anthony Taylor said: “Debt stress can be so destructive. It affects family relationships, health and can be very isolating. As a compassionate community, we wanted to provide people with a route out of debt and CAP is distinct because it does that in partnership with the church. “Sometimes people feel they have made mistakes but very often they have been driven into debt by suffering from job loss, relationship breakdown or coping with illness in the family or a bereavement – situations that are often difficult, emotional and have a financial impact.
