> **4 CEO’s Letter** 

**“I’m filled with joy reflecting on the impact we’ve had for families this “ year and I’m excited for our continued growth in the year ahead.”** 

We have seen another year of encouraging growth at Growing Hope this year. I had the privilege recently to talk about all that we’ve been doing with His Majesty King Charles III, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby and The Rt Revd and Rt Hon Dame Sarah Mullally DBE, Bishop of London, at a community reception at King’s Cross Church. It was great to celebrate Growing Hope King’s Cross and all that we’ve seen happen across the charity nationally. 


Over this year we have continued to work with many more children, young people and families who have additional needs. A couple of weeks ago I was in clinic with a family who have seen amazing breakthrough with their ten-year-old son who, through occupational therapy, is now able to sleep in his own bed on his own at night. Having sleep is making a big difference to the whole family and it’s encouraging to see similar stories repeated across our clinics. We have excitingly applied for charity status for our next Growing Hope clinic in Gateshead and we hope to open this early in the new year. We are also in a number of encouraging conversations with churches across the country who may set up a Growing Hope clinic in 2023. 

I am so encouraged by God’s faithfulness to Growing Hope and the provision for each of the local clinics. Over the course of this year we have excitingly added five new individuals to our Growing Hope national team and it is brilliant to have Vicki, Jade, Naz, Anna and Jennie on board. The increased capacity at a national level means that we can better support and grow our local Growing Hope clinics. 

We have also taken big steps nationally in the development of resources which support children and young people with additional needs and their families across the UK. We have been rolling out our When Dreams Change course for parents and carers of children with additional needs and our Siblings Group courses. We have also launched our accessibility award for churches to receive a kitemark about their accessibility. We are looking forward to continuing to impact families through partnering with local churches, communities and schools alongside our Growing Hope clinics. 

I’m filled with joy reflecting on the impact we’ve had for families this year and I’m excited for our continued growth in the year ahead. 

Yours sincerely, 


Dr Naomi Graham 

_Founder & CEO of Growing Hope National_

**6 Chairman’s Letter** 

_In a challenging year of global uncertainty and the cost-of-living crisis, there has been a growing need for the support of local charities to help those in need. At Growing Hope King’s Cross, we have continued to provide free therapy to children and families with additional needs in the London boroughs of Camden and Islington._ 

## **“** 

**“I encourage everyone to join with the team as we continue to pray for the local children and families who require support in the coming year.”** 

There is much to celebrate across 2022! The Growing Hope King’s Cross therapy clinic has moved into King’s House on Pentonville Road in the heart of King’s Cross. I’d like to thank our Clinic Manager, Abi Page, for co-ordinating the move and all the staff and volunteers who made this possible. We are grateful to our partner, King’s Cross Church in providing us with a space to help serve the local community in a purpose-built setting. King’s House also hosted our annual spring fundraising ball. We are thankful to those who organised the event and for those who attended, supporting the work of the charity. 

We’ve welcomed Reb du Preez to the team of therapists and Rhianna Gerry to the board of trustees. Both have already been brilliant additions to the team and we’re grateful for their skills and knowledge. We have said goodbye to Philippa Bailey as a trustee and Georgie Harris, our music therapist. I’d like to thank them for all their hard work and dedication to the work of the charity over the past few years. 

On behalf of Growing Hope King’s Cross, I would like to thank all those who have generously given to the charity in 2022. Thank you to the team of therapists, trustees, and volunteers for their time, 

effort, and expertise. Thank you to our supporters who have donated through, grants, fundraising events, and individual giving! We are grateful for your support. 

Thank you to all those who have been praying for Growing Hope King’s Cross. As ever, I encourage everyone to join with the team as we continue to pray for the local children and families who require support in the coming year. 

Yours sincerely,

## **Trustees’ Report** 

_The Board of Trustees presents its report and financial statements for the year 1 January 2022 - 31 December 2022 together with the Independent Examiner’s Report. Growing Hope King’s Cross was registered with the charity commission as a CIO on 13 December 2017, charity number 1176251; 2022 was the fifth financial period of the charity. Our current trustees are David Straiton, Jonathan Carter, Lauren Sibuns, Daniel Kheng and Rhianna Gerry._ 

Growing Hope King’s Cross continues to provide free therapy services for children and young people with additional needs and their families living in Camden and Islington. Our aim is to provide a holistic service which supports parents, carers and siblings - as well as the children and young people themselves. Details of our charitable objectives (page 10) and impact and outcomes (page 12 onwards) are found in greater depth within this report. 

We are confident that Growing Hope King’s Cross has carried out its charitable objectives in 2022 and acted in the interests of the public benefit. We have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on reporting on public benefit when preparing this annual report. In March Philippa Bailey stepped down as a trustee, and we would like to thank Philippa for her service and dedication to Growing Hope King’s Cross. On 18th July 2022 Rhianna Gerry was appointed as an additional trustee to support the work of the board. 

Growing Hope King’s Cross provides intervention and support to children and families in need, regardless of income. These services are provided by staff and freelancers (registered healthcare professionals), with the help of volunteers where necessary, in accordance with charity policy and standards of good practice. 

We also have many volunteers without whom we would not have been able to run Growing Hope King’s Cross in 2022, and we are extremely grateful for their support. In particular we would like to thank Abi Page, Clinic Manager, who has gone above and beyond in enabling Growing Hope King’s Cross to be a success and to support many children, young people and families across Camden and Islington. 

Yours sincerely, 





_David Straiton, Jonathan Carter, Lauren Sibuns, Daniel Kheng and Rhianna Gerry,_

**8 Clinic Manager’s Letter** 

_Growing Hope King’s Cross has continued to grow and develop in 2022._ 

## **“** 

**“As always, we continue to be grateful for the support that we have received this year from our dedicated team of trustees, volunteers, therapists, and support staff.”** 

We started the year with a move to our new clinic location in King’s House, where we have continued to offer a range of different therapy services, including speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, children’s counselling, art therapy and music therapy, to children, young people and families in Camden and Islington. We have also run several different groups and courses to support parents, carers, and siblings of children with additional needs. 

The café space in King’s House enables us to offer a warm welcome to families attending clinic, and in joining the King’s House community, we have been able to signpost and connect more families with other local services and organisations that are also available in King’s House. We are very grateful for the welcome and support we have received from the King’s House team. 

early in 2022 and Georgie Harris (Music Therapist) moving on to a new role in the summer. Reb du Preez (Occupational Therapist) also joined the team this year. 

As always, we continue to be grateful for the support that we have received this year from our dedicated team of trustees, volunteers, therapists, and support staff. This help is hugely appreciated and has enabled Growing Hope King’s Cross to continue to thrive. 

The year ended with an opportunity to meet His Majesty King Charles III, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby and The Rt Revd and Rt Hon Dame Sarah Mullally DBE, Bishop of London, at a reception in King’s House. It was an honour to be able to share stories of the work that Growing Hope King’s Cross is doing to support children and young people with additional needs in Camden and Islington. 

In the spring, we hosted a fundraising dinner at King’s House, and it was a joy to be able to celebrate the work of Growing Hope King’s Cross at our first large event since early 2020. We also ran a festive wreath making evening in November and we look forward to hosting more events next year. 

There have been several changes to the therapy team this year, with Alley Akoh (Art Therapist) going on maternity leave 

We look forward to continuing to provide therapy and support in the new year and continuing to grow hope for children, hope for families and hope in Jesus in 2023. 


Yours sincerely,

> **12 Hope for Children** 

_In 2022 we worked with 128 children on a one-to-one or group basis._ 

This year we have provided assessment and intervention for children and young people, working on individualised goals with them and their families. Various therapy services have been provided in the year by our therapists: 

- **Abi Page** (speech and language therapist) has continued to oversee the clinic as Clinic Manager and provide speech and language therapy. 

- **Naomi Graham** (occupational therapist) has continued to provide occupational therapy once a week, alongside her role as CEO and Founder. 

- **Reb du Preez** (occupational therapist) has continued to provide occupational therapy. 

- **Jess Bond** (children’s counsellor), has continued providing occasional counselling as a freelancer.

## **Outcome Measures** 

At Growing Hope we are committed to providing a high quality of clinical services and therefore we place a high importance

on our outcome measurement. We use a combination of non-standardised feedback forms and a standardised measure, the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS).[1  ] GAS is an outcome measure that is commonly used in research to show the effectiveness of therapy services.[2 ] GAS enabled us to set three goals for each child and young person in a conversation between themselves, their parents and the therapist. These goals follow ‘SMART’ goal standards: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely. Each goal is designed to be achievable within the block of sessions a child is undertaking. 

## **Outcomes** 

Every child was seen to make improvements over the course of their therapy sessions. Of 270 goals set within the clinic and across our groups with children and young people, 92% of therapy goals were met. Where goals weren’t met, the primary reasons were parents facing challenges that prevented them from carrying out activities with the child at home, or that the family were unable to attend clinic on several occasions. A core value of Growing Hope is equipping parents to incorporate their child’s goals into their everyday life; this often leads to high success in therapy.

## **Lucas’s Story and Occupational Therapy** 

It is always a brilliant feeling when families return to Growing Hope for further support or as the needs of their child change. Lucas had been previously seen by the Growing Hope team when he was younger. His family still use many of the strategies that they learnt in sessions such as explaining to Lucas what we are doing now and what we will do next. They use the gym ball to provide the sensory input that Lucas seeks. 

One of Lucas’ goals was to identify suitable things for him to chew that won’t give him ulcers as he had been overusing his chewy toy, especially while at school. His family and OT explored alternative strategies that would provide the oral motor input Lucas seeks. During sessions we played table football where you blow a bead and try and get it in between goals. This game brought about a lot of laughter which is in itself therapy and a good outlet for parents who have many challenges such as trying to negotiate the level of support their child receives within school. 

In sessions we got Lucas to blow bubbles, to blow through straws and to eat crunchy foods such as whole apples and pears. The process of blowing and chewing provided the oral input Lucas needed and helped Lucas to feel regulated in his body as these strategies are also calming.  By the end of our sessions, Lucas no longer had mouth ulcers and his family now have a few more strategies to further support him with. 

We look forward to watching Lucas grow and develop and it’s a privilege to be able to support him and his family.

## **Hope for Families** 

_We believe that the families of children with additional needs require support and care too so we provide a range of support groups and courses._ **“ “I really enjoyed the safe space without judgement and connecting with other mums.”** When Dreams Change Attendee 

## **When Dreams Change** 

When Dreams Change enables parents to have the opportunity to reflect on their experience of their hopes and dreams having to change because of their child’s additional needs. We ran the course twice this year for 9 parents. 

The Goal Attainment Scale[4&5] is used to measure outcomes of the When Dreams Change course. Across both the courses run this year, 89% of the goals were met. The course aimed to enable parents to achieve the following: 

reflect on their own experience and map out and share with the group the core emotions they are experiencing at the moment. 

reflect on their own support network and share with the group one way in which they can draw upon this. 

reflect on their own dreams and share with the group one small step they may take towards these. 

**“The course has changed my perspective on my present circumstances and helped shape my dreams for the future.”** 

**“It was all so helpful in finding myself again and helped me to start thinking about my feelings”** 

**“The course was very helpful. I’m pleased that there’s something to help parents to focus on their own needs and desires.”**

## **Siblings Group** 

This year we ran two Siblings Groups this year with a total of 6 children. One group was run in clinic and one in a local schools. The group consists of seven 40 minute sessions which take place on a weekly basis. We aim to enable children to explore and share some of their experiences and feelings of being a sibling of a child with additional needs. The group uses puppet, art and movement activities to help children think through scenarios and relay their own experiences. Through speaking about, writing or drawing their experiences, siblings have the opportunity to process their emotions and connect with others who have had similar experiences. The siblings group was reviewed using the Goal Attainment Scale[4&5] as an outcome measure. The goals of the group were: 

to be able to share a story of a positive experience with their sibling with an emotion attached by the end of the 7 week group. 

to be able to share a story of a challenging experience with their sibling with an emotion attached by the end of the 7 week group. 

to be able to recall within the group a strategy for letting go of feelings e.g. writing down, telling someone, deep breaths, hand massage, by the end of the 7 week group. 

We found that across the groups 100% of the goals were met. 


## **Circle of Security** 

We ran this parenting course twice over the year in partnership with Choices Islington. 20 parents and carers attended the courses we ran. Circle of Security is an evidence-based parenting course based on attachment research, involving course videos and facilitated therapeutic discussion. 

The aim of the course is to help parents and carers better understand their child’s emotional needs by the end of the 6 week course. We used the Goal Attainment Scale[4&5 ] to measure the outcomes of this course. We found that across the groups 94% of the goals were met. Where some parents could not attend all of the sessions the facilitators arranged an opportunity to catch up before the start of the next session so they did not miss out. 

**“The Circle of Security course has helped me to understand the importance of being WITH my child - how important it is to watch and delight in them even when they are going “out” of the circle and seem to be more independent.”**

## **Hope in Jesus** 

_At Growing Hope King’s Cross we believe that Jesus brings hope into everyone’s lives, that God has created every individual fearfully and wonderfully and that they are of value to him. Our Christian values have underpinned the work we have done both in the clinic and in schools over the past year._ 

We welcome all individuals to the clinic, whatever their faith or background. During this year 19% of the families we have supported have no faith, 18% are from a Muslim background, 6% are from another faith and 37% are practising Christians. This broadly reflects London’s demographics. Each week within therapy sessions, we offer to pray for people if this is something they would like to do. Some families have declined the offer of prayer, but many have accepted it. Across the year we have had conversations with families who have asked questions about faith and the hope that Jesus can bring. We’ve also been able to pray for families along the therapy journey, and this appears to have helped them to stay hopeful and confident. It has been a privilege to be able to extend the hope that Jesus can bring to the families who have come to the clinic. On several occasions we have been able to pray with both children and parents facing challenging times, to walk alongside them and speak hope into their challenges. 


**“One of my favourite verses from the Bible is according to Jeremiah 29:11 which has the word hope in it - ‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope for a future.’ I think that is what Growing Hope is helping me and Ranan with. It’s giving us a hope for the future because it’s quite overwhelming for a parent when a child receives their diagnosis.”** 

_Growing Hope Parent_ 

**“The approach you take is so kind and so responsive... Each time we leave with your advice and your prayers, and  really like both. Thank you for all of your time and advice.”**

**20 Volunteers** 

_The trustees would like to say a big thank you to each and every individual who has supported Growing Hope King’s Cross in the past year._ 

Including trustees, we have 18 regular volunteers who give up their time on a monthly or periodic basis. We also have 12 volunteers who have supported us at one-off events or by providing childcare in order for us to run our groups for families. The trustees also want to recognise the role of our partnership church, King’s Cross Church, in facilitating this support and volunteering. Without the church community, Growing Hope King’s Cross would be unable to continue to support children, young people and families. 

to. A team of 5 Growing Hope volunteers have been a part of the kids ministry to support these Growing Hope families. The KXC kids team (around 30 volunteers) have received briefing and training as to how to support children with additional needs within a church setting and accessibility is core to the kids ministry provided. Each session includes visual schedules, fidget toys, opportunities for movement, a multisensory story and prayer activities so children, whatever their needs, can engage and participate. 

## **Regular Volunteers** 

We are so grateful to all our regular volunteers who equip us with the capacity to support more families. We particularly want to thank Rhianna Gerry, Emily Allbaugh and Judith Hart for volunteering on the fundraising subcommittee; Keilah Gallardo and Sarah Kelly for their support with planning and running the Fundraising Dinner; Joanna Stewart for providing music therapy as part of her placement as a music therapy student; Emma Bird for processing our gift aid; Natalie de Laune for minute taking in trustee meetings; Elspeth Reid for all of her support during her time as an apprentice at KXC and for co-facilitating a Siblings Group; Shirley Page for leading the wreath making evening. 

## **Sunday Volunteers** 

This year we have seen four Growing Hope families attend church services or events. Part of Growing Hope’s vision is to see children and young people with additional needs and their families be supported to access church if they’d like 

The trustees want to thank KXC and in particular Sunday volunteers for their adaptability in supporting families in changing circumstances across the year. 

## **Event Volunteers** 

Our one-off volunteers for our events have been so valuable in enabling these initiatives to be as successful as they have been. We are extremely grateful to everyone who offers up their time to serve at these events. 

## **Due Diligence** 

All regular volunteers provide two references, and any volunteer who works with children provides two references and completes a DBS check. Regular volunteers have a volunteer agreement which is not legally binding, but helps Growing Hope King’s Cross and the volunteer to agree their role. 

Growing Hope King’s Cross Annual Report 2022 | Volunteers 



One of the areas that we might focus on in speech and language therapy sessions is social communication skills that are used when interacting with others. This includes verbal and non-verbal skills such as: initiating interaction, expressing emotion, using facial expression and gestures, asking and answering questions, taking turns in interaction, repairing misunderstanding and ending an interaction. 

When Josh came to Growing Hope King’s Cross, he was having difficulty regulating his emotions and communicating with others when feeling upset or frustrated. When he experienced a problem or misunderstanding, he would quickly become upset, however was often unable to clearly communicate how he was feeling or what the problem was. 

During the sessions, comic strip conversations were used to draw out different scenarios and explore thoughts, feelings, words, and actions of the people involved. Josh was able to explore some of his own experiences and use the drawing to support discussion about his thoughts and feelings in different situations. This has also supported him to communicate more clearly when there is a problem or misunderstanding. 

Joshua was also able to recall tools and strategies to help with self-regulation, from previous Growing Hope occupational therapy sessions. Some of these strategies were used during sessions and some were included when discussing ideas for how to respond in difficult situations.

> **28 The Year Ahead** 

_We loved seeing the charity continue to grow and reach children and families in 2022. We are looking forward to continuing to grow our services and see the positive impact of our work on the lives of children, young people and their families._ 

A key aim of the trustees is to maintain our fundraising income through grant applications, events and campaigns. As we achieve more funding we hope to continue to expand our therapy provision for families, recruiting a new music therapist and potentially more speech and language therapy support. This will enable us to meet the growing need of families on our waiting lists. 

For the next year we have set ourselves these goals: 

**SERVICES** to continue to expand our services as finances allow.

## **Growing Hope King’s Cross Notes to the Financial Statements For the year 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022** 

## **1. Accounting Policies** 

## **Incorporation** 

Growing Hope King’s Cross was registered in England and Wales with the Charity Commission as a CIO Foundation on 13 December 2017. These financial statements are for the period 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022. 

## **Basis of Preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). The Charity is a public benefit entity for the purposes of FRS 102 and therefore the charity also prepared its financial statements in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102 Charities SORP) and the Charities Act 2011. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound. 

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. 

## **Going Concern Basis** 

The trustees have assessed whether the use of going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. In particular, the trustees have considered the charity’s forecasts and projections and have taken account of pressure on income. After making enquiries, the trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operations existence for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing financial statements.

**34** 

## **Income** 

Income is recognised in the period which it was receivable. Also included is the estimated value of gifts in kind and goods or services donated to the charity where the amounts are material, readily quantifiable and measurable. Such estimates are based on the market price the charity would otherwise have paid. 

## **Expenditure** 

Direct charitable expenditure comprises all expenditure relating to the activities carried out to achieve the objectives. 

Expenditure is allocated directly to the expenditure headings as far as practically possible to reflect the activities of the charity. Support costs have been allocated to the activities based on employee time spent on that activity. 

Expenditure is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered. Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party; it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

## **Fund Accounting** 

Restricted funds are subject to restrictions imposed by the donor. These are accounted for separately from unrestricted funds. The movements on restricted funds in the period 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022 are shown in note 11 to the accounts 

Unrestricted funds are those which are not subject to restrictions, and any surpluses may be applied in furtherance of any of the charity’s objectives. 

## **Cash and Cash Equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at banks and in hand and short-term deposits with a maturity date of three months or less. 

## **Debtors and Creditors** 

Debtors and creditors receivable or payable within one year of the reporting date are carried at their at transaction price. Debtors and creditors that are receivable or payable in more than one year and not subject to a market rate of interest are measured at the present value of the expected future receipts or payment discounted at a market rate of interest. 

Growing Hope King’s Cross Annual Report 2022 | Financial Report 



**35** 

## **Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets costing less than £500 are not capitalised and are written-off in the year of purchase. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of the fixed assets over their estimated useful lives. A full year’s depreciation is charged in the year of purchase. Depreciation is charged at the following annual rates: 

Computer and Office Equipment: 4 Years straight line Clinic Equipment: 4 Years straight line 

## **Pension** 

The charity operates a defined contribution stakeholder pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from the charity. 

## **Critical Accounting Estimates and Areas of Judgement** 

The annual depreciation charge for property, plant and equipment is sensitive to change in useful economic life and residual values of assets. These are reassessed annually. 

In the view of the trustees in applying the accounting policies adopted, no other judgements were required that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements nor do any estimates or assumptions made carry a significant risk of material adjustment in the next financial year.
