Financial Advice

If you’ve got loans that have got out of hand, are struggling to make ends meet, have queries about a loan that you’re not sure whether to take out, or just need some help in managing your finances, we have launched a new CAP scheme (Christians Against Poverty) as part of Bude Foodbank Plus, offering people the opportunity to get financial advice and support through 1-1 sessions.

Check out the video below to find out more about CAP and the work they do.

To talk through anything financial that you might be facing, please call 08003 280006 & speak to Jane Libretto – our local CAP Debt Centre Manager.

Alternatively, email: janelibretto@capuk.org

Spiritual Guidance

We can offer 1-1 support if you need someone to pray with you or to talk through any issues that need spiritual input. Bude Foodbank works closely with the team at Oceans Church in Bude which runs various sessions including Alpha Courses which explore the Christian faith in more detail, but also partners in sessions including Mums and Todds, youth activities and weekly church services.
