Abi Page, Clinic Manager

This has been an exciting year at Growing Hope King’s Cross and there have been a number of changes to the team. In the spring term, Joanna Hyde joined as a freelance music therapist, Joni Roberts finished in her role as a freelance administrator, and Christaline Clement, worked with us as a freelance speech and language therapist. In the summer term, Judith Hart returned from maternity leave, to provide physiotherapy services, before moving on to a new role, Farah Soda started in the role of freelance administrator, and Beth Marsden joined as a Senior Speech and Language therapist. In the autumn term, Jess Bond took a step back from her role as freelance children’s counsellor to welcome her 3rd child and spend time with her family.

Throughout the year, we have also been supported by a growing team of volunteers who have offered their time and skills to support in clinic, on Sundays, with administration, planning and running events and with fundraising. 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. Their help is hugely appreciated and has enabled Growing Hope King’s Cross to continue to thrive.

Rhianna Gerry, Acting Chair of Trustees

It’s been another busy year for Growing Hope King’s Cross. I’d like to thank our Clinic Manager, Abi Page and all our therapists for the crucial work they have done over the year to support more children with additional needs and their families. It has been brilliant to hear the many stories of children and families that have come through Growing Hope. On behalf of the charity, I would like

to thank all those who have generously given to Growing Hope King’s Cross in 2023. We are grateful for all the volunteers and trustees who support us in achieving our aims of growing hope for children, hope for families, and hope in Jesus.

Hope for Children, Hope for Families, Hope in Jesus

Dr Naomi Graham, Founder and CEO

This year we celebrated Growing Hope turning five years old and as I reflect back on the past five years, I’m so encouraged by the growth we have seen and the ways in which our clinics and therapists have made a difference in the lives of so many families.

This year saw some particularly exciting growth within our national team which is enabling us to reach and support more families of children with additional needs across the UK. We launched our accessibility award which enables churches to receive an audit and a bronze, silver or gold award for their provision for individuals with a wide range of additional needs. We also have seen our fourth clinic set up in Gateshead and look forward to seeing this open in 2024.

I’m so encouraged by the many conversations we are having with churches nationwide, around forming partnerships and setting up clinics within the coming years. I’m delighted that we’re collaborating with All Saints Woodford Wells to set up our next clinic in Redbridge next year. I am so proud of all of the hard work of the Growing Hope team as we continue to grow hope across the UK and draw nearer to our vision of 20 clinics by 2030.

We bring hope to children through free therapy services.

We grow hope for families where hope has been lost due to isolation or rejection.

I n accordance with its charity constitution, Growing Hope King’s Cross has sought to achieve the following aims and objectives in the year dated 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023.

The advancement of health and wellbeing for the public benefit by the provision of a therapy clinic run in accordance with Christian principles for children and young people (0-18) with additional needs and their families living in Camden and Islington. In particular, but not exlusively by:

Sebastian comes to Growing Hope for therapy sessions with our Occupational Therapist Naomi.

Sebastian finds it difficult to sit at the table and focus on activities, so in our sessions, we play a game on the scooter boards because this helps him to feel more calm and helps to build up his strength for his writing skills.

Nellie came to Growing Hope King’s Cross for occupational therapy sessions with our OT Reb. We worked together on increasing what Nellie will eat.

We encouraged Nellie to touch the food, lick it, bite it and then taste it and if she didn’t like the smell, feel or taste we always give it to the OTs’ monster who happily eats everything.

Hope for Children

We have provided therapy for 195 children and young people.

Examples of goals have been emotional regulation, attention and listening, social skills, toileting dressing and eating. 87% of therapy goals have been achieved.

We have provided free occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, children’s counselling and music therapy in King’s House, KXC’s building in King’s Cross. We support children and families to work on goals which are meaningful to them and help them to reach their full potential.

We have run:

Two When Dreams Change courses , a four-week course that aims to help parents and carers reflect on their experience of having a child with additional needs and to become more of the person they have been created to be.

Two Siblings Group courses , a seven-week course that aims to enable brothers and sisters of children with additional needs to share their experiences of being a sibling and connect with other children with similar experiences.

Three Circle of Security courses in partnership with Choices Islington, supporting parents in enabling their children to develop secure attachments.

21 training sessions for parents and carers , fortnightly sessions on a variety of topics, hosted by our therapists in partnership with Growing Hope National, Brockley and High Wycombe.

Feedback has been that 92% of goals have been met within our courses.

Hope in Jesus

We believe Jesus brings hope even in the most difficult situations. We always offer to pray for families at the end of each therapy session, many families have taken up this offer and it has been a privilege to see answers to prayer. Our Clinic Manager, Abi Page, also works on a Sunday to support families to access church with the help of Growing Hope champions. This year we have had five Growing Hope champions serving alongside children and youth ministry to help families feel welcome.

One of the families that we supported this year had reported feeling isolated and unsupported, without a local network of family and friends. With support from Growing Hope, they were able to attend church services and social events and were able to build connections and relationships with other local families. Growing Hope is open to individuals of all faiths and backgrounds and there is no pressure to participate in the faith aspects of our service.

Gabby’s Story

It has been joy to see how Gabby’s occupational therapy sessions are having a big impact for her. Gabby had been struggling with leaving her Mum as she went to school – often needing two teachers to help her into the classroom. In our sessions we looked at ways in which Gabby could help her body to feel calmer. We wrote a story to help her remember the things that she can do to feel calm, and to remind her that Mummy will be there to pick her up at the end of each day.

Then in our next session, Gabby told me how she’d been able to remember her ten hugs and saying goodbye, and then her ten hugs and saying hello, and that she’d gone to school without the help of teachers for three days in a row! It is a privilege to be able to support families in ways that can make such a difference.

Growing Hope King’s Cross Notes to the Financial Statements For the year 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023

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 2023 to 31 December 2023.

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

Growing Hope King’s Cross Annual Report 2023

21

continue in operations existence for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing financial statements.

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.

Grants are accounted for in the charity under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102. The deferred element of the grant is included in creditors as deferred income. Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the SOFA in the same period as the related expenditure.

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 2023 to 31 December 2023 are shown in note 11 to the accounts.

Unrestricted funds are those which are not subject to restrictions, and

Hope for Children, Hope for Families, Hope in Jesus

22

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 shortterm 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 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.

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.
