Growing Hope provides free therapy for children with additional needs and their families, in partnership with churches, across the UK. We aim to grow hope for children, hope for families and hope in Jesus. With your support we can reach our vision of 20 free therapy clinics across the UK by 2030.

Situation
In the UK 14.9% of children have additional needs. Many of them are unable to develop function skills such as dressing themselves or writing their name because of a lack of therapy provision. Without our free therapy services, many families would be stuck on long NHS waiting lists or would have to sacrifice basic necessities to pay for private therapy. Even before the pandemic, families of children with additional needs have perceived a reduction in health services over the last few years.
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 currently offer a range of therapy including: occupational, speech and language, physio, music and art therapy. We also provide groups for parents, carers and siblings of children with additional needs so they can connect with each other and process their emotions. We offer to support families to attend their local church if they would like to.
