Oxford Churches Debt Centre (OCDC) works with Christians Against Poverty (CAP). CAP is passionate about releasing people in our nation from a life sentence of debt, poverty and its causes.
There is poverty in every community. Hundreds of people are in need of free debt help. Thousands of families can benefit from budgeting and life skills. The UK Church is perfectly placed to tackle these issues.
If you are in debt, you’ve come to the right place. Thousands of people have already been given hope and a solution through CAP.
OCDC cover postcodes OX1, OX2, OX3, OX4, OX33 and OX44, helping lift people out of debt and poverty. Their work is run by a consortium of four local churches and by four part-time staff.

In Oxford, it may be surprising to hear but one in four children are living in poverty. Low self-esteem and mental health challenges are limiting their future aspirations.
Many families are struggling to meet the needs of their children, and the recent closure of children’s centres has left a large gap in support.
Doorsteps Our work involves Find Your Fire, a bespoke youth programme to raise resilience and self-esteem in young people. Then there’s Doorsteps Youth Work in and around East Oxford schools. In addition, we work with the County Council and Oxford Diocese on supporting Under 5s’ provision in Oxfordshire. We’re also passionate about supporting churches in their work with children and young people.
