Our Debt Centre Manager
Hi, I'm Paul Robinson, the debt centre manager. I'm excited about the opportunity to help bring transformation to people's lives through release from poverty and debt, working together with CAP and supported by local churches.
I've worked in both the voluntary and public sectors, including most recently with schools and families of children with special needs.
I'm married with two adult children, and my wife and I love to travel and explore new places. I also love books , connecting with people across cultures, and the outdoors, especially the Lakes.
