Growing Hope Brockley provides free therapy for children and families in Lewisham and Southwark with additional needs in partnership with St Peter's Brockley. We aim to grow hope for children, hope for families, and hope in Jesus. Your support will enable us to offer more therapy.

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 Brockley aims to bridge a gap in the therapy provision for families within Southwark and Lewisham by providing free therapy including children's counselling. We also run groups for parents enabling them to process the change that additional needs means for their child’s life. Thirdly, we run siblings groups enabling siblings to process their experience of being a brother or sister of a child with additional needs. Finally, we offer prayer to those who want it.
