About This Cause
The Community Awareness Programme was founded in 1997 and supports people facing severe and multiple disadvantage with their journey from desperation to self-sufficiency in the following ways: • Practical and emotional help when they need it most and for as long as they need. • Raising awareness of issues faced and ensuring that disadvantaged people have a voice within their local community. The core issue that we deal with is homelessness. The range of other presenting issues include extreme poverty, alcohol/drug dependency problems, learning difficulties, mental health issues, history of violence, family breakdown, relationship problems, bereavement and offender rehabilitation. CAP Care provides a safe, clean, warm and friendly, non-judgmental environment and a wide variety of support services throughout the week from 10am to 2pm Monday to Friday and is based in the City Centre of Wakefield. Specifically, the types of support and services offered include: • Provision of emergency basic needs i.e. cooked hot meal, clothing, household goods and furniture • Friendship and restoration of self-worth • Specialist Counselling, emotional and interpersonal support • Employment and education help and advice • Help to find long term permanent housing solutions. • Help with form filling and internet-based applications. • Basic life skills development e.g., how to shop, cook, manage money etc. • Signposting to other agencies for further help e.g., health, mental health, benefits, including hosting of many of those services onsite to create a one-stop-shop service provision • Hosting of weekly AA meetings Our approach is through relationships. By getting to know our clients well and creating a place of trust and sanctuary for them, we can help them in a truly “whole person” sense, rather than merely offering practical stopgaps. It is this methodology and ethos which sets us apart from other service providers, and this has served us well for over 25 years.
