Growing Hope King's Cross is a charity that provides free therapy for children with additional needs. We also provide support for their siblings and parents/carers. We are looking to raise funds in order to ensure the continued provision of therapy services to those who need our support.

Beneficiaries
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.
Through the provision of free therapy services including: occupational therapy, music therapy, children's counselling and speech and language therapy. We also run groups for parents enabling them to process the change that additional needs means for their child’s life. We run siblings groups enabling siblings to process their experience of being a brother or sister of a child with additional needs. We offer prayer to those who want it.
