Growing Hope provides free therapy for children with additional needs in partnership with churches across the UK. We aim to grow hope for children, hope for families, and hope in Jesus. Your support will enable us to pursue our mission to see 20 free therapy clinics set up across the UK by 2030.

Situation
In the UK, 1 in 6 children have an additional need. These include physical and mental health, learning, and undiagnosed needs. Waiting times are at high levels in the NHS and 1 in 2 families experience delays in accessing therapy, which leaves families desperate for support. Parents, carers and siblings often feel isolated and experience mental ill health and there can be significant financial strains on parents and carers too.
Solution
Growing Hope aims to bridge a gap in the UK’s therapy provision by setting up free therapy clinics in partnership with churches. We work within diverse multicultural communities. The range of therapy we offer includes: occupational, speech and language, music and art therapy and counselling. Our therapists provide individualised support to aid children to deal with, or improve on challenges they face. We also provide support groups for families of children with additional needs.
