Our Debt Centre Manager
Hi, I'm Poppy 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.
My a background is in the charitable sector and youth work with a passion for supporting people in their lives. I love running, getting outdoors with my family or just having a cup of tea in the garden. I live in Kendal with my husband and two kids.
