Keeping CAP safe

CAP has remained open throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.  But things do look a little different.

2019 Statistics

UPDATE 23 Mar 2020 – Community Awareness Programme

In line with specific Government guidelines we remain open for clients.

We have implemented several restrictions to our services and reduced opening times to 10am-12.30pm Monday to Friday.

These measures are necessary to match demand with our diminished team of staff and volunteers and also to allow safe interaction between clients in line with the vital social distancing measures. The people who are having to stay at home are doing so with the heaviest of hearts and we thank and value them immensely. I would also like to thank those of you who have offered to fill in the gaps… stay by the phone!

Thanks to everyone for your ongoing and heartfelt support for us (which you are continuing to show in many ways) as we strive to keep on giving crucial help to the disadvantaged in our community. This support is VERY much appreciated by us all in these surreal times.

Take care all of you and watch this space for further updates as the situation develops.

Additionally the AGM is cancelled until it can be safely rescheduled.

The Very Beginning 1997-2017
In the late 80’s, Ernest and Elisabeth Hibbert travelled to London for a weekend break.   Little did they know that their lives would be changed during that visit.   It was there that their eyes were first opened to the plight of the street homeless and those in depravity and even though they both knew as individuals that their hearts had been touched, it was only in a passing conversation almost twelve months later they realised that the yearning to make a difference was mutual. The ones they wanted to help were not however in the nation's capital, but in their hometown of Wakefield. They opened CAP on the 5th  September 1997.
