Phillip Wood the director of Debt Saviours spent 16 weeks tracking John Kirkby the Founder of CAP. Every aspect of Cap’s work was covered and many hours were spent following John around his daily activities. The visit of Martin Lewis Money Saving Expert, who openly supports the work that CAP does was filmed and the staff team and many of the volunteers were met. Debt coaches were accompanied and a Discovery break attended.
