The Past Year

Chair of Trustee’s Letter

The work of Growing Hope has never been more vital. As the challenges facing children with additional needs and their families continue to grow, our responsibility as a Board is to ensure the charity has the leadership, governance, and resources to meet that need.

2025 was a pivotal year in this regard. A significant focus for the Board was ensuring a stable and effective leadership transition during our Founder Naomi Fox’s maternity leave. I am delighted to report that this period was not only seamless but transformative. We have now moved to a permanent new leadership model that plays to the unique strengths of our team: Naomi Fox continues her visionary work as Founder, and Vicki Smith has been appointed as our substantive CEO. On behalf of the Board, I want to thank Vicki for her exceptional leadership during this transition.

Our governance has been further bolstered this year by the appointment of two new Trustees. Their arrival brings fresh expertise and scrutiny as we scale our operations nationally.

Despite a challenging economic environment for the UK charity sector, the faithful generosity of our supporters has given us the confidence to plan for the future. Whether it is our expanding clinic network or our landmark partnership with the Church of England, the Board is satisfied that Growing Hope is moving toward our “20 by 2030” goal with integrity and strategic clarity. Thank you to everyone who has stood by us this year.

CEO’s Letter

At the start of 2025, our goal was consolidation alongside continued growth and development. However, I am amazed to look back and see a year defined by unprecedented growth and unexpected momentum. We didn’t just maintain our services; we doubled them. I am so grateful for an incredible team who have embraced a season of change with faith, creativity and determination.

We successfully opened four new clinics in Redbridge, Solent, York, and Farnham, bringing life-changing therapy to families who were previously struggling in isolation. With plans for our ninth and tenth clinics in Ipswich and Tunbridge Wells already well advanced for 2026, we are well on our way to our target of 20 clinics by 2030.

Beyond our clinical work, 2025 saw a strategic and exciting development in our mission to foster belonging in local churches. In December, we received approval for a major partnership with the Church of England. Over the next three years, we will be working across five dioceses to train and support churches with accessibility, helping them become truly inclusive places of welcome for children and young people with additional needs and their families.

At the heart of all this growth are the children and families we serve. Through our clinics, we provided free therapy to 440 children and supported 445 families through groups and training. Alongside practical care, our therapists continue to share hope in Jesus with families through prayer and an invitation into Church community.

None of this would be possible without the incredible generosity of many individuals, donors and partners along with the dedication of our staff and volunteers. It has been an honour to step into the role of CEO permanently this year. Together, we are not just providing therapy and knowledge - we are bringing new hope to families across the UK.

Growing Hope was registered with the charity commission as a CIO on 19 December 2017, charity number 1176358; 2025 was the eighth financial period of the charity. Free unrestricted funds as of 31 December 2025 were £95,159. In September and November Rebecca MacDonald and Bethan Palmer the board respectively.

Our current trustees are Steve Ford (Chair), Richard Beasley, Bambi French, Paul Nye, Joojo-Kyei-Sarpong, Bethan Palmer and Rebecca MacDonald.

As trustees we are confident that we have followed our charitable objectives this year and have seen change for the public benefit. We have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on reporting on public benefit when preparing this annual report. We have continued our focus on developing our model, policies and procedures alongside the national team in order that we can meet the vision to set up 20 clinics across the UK by 2030.

Kolbie-Jaxx's Story

"Growing Hope really helped Kolbie-Jaxx, helping him understand and use new words and explore new games to help build his vocabulary. His general speech is slowly becoming more clear which helps us to understand what he wants and means less frustration and upset for him. I have also learned loads of new techniques which I can use at home and teach family too.

Family have also noticed a difference in Kolbie-Jaxx’s speech on how much clearer his words are becoming. Our therapist Rosalyn has been amazing with KolbieJaxx, understanding his sensory issues as well and always taking those into consideration when planning the sessions." - Mum Jess

of GAS goals achieved by children and young people

We use a combination of non-standardised feedback forms and a standardised measure, the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS). GAS is an outcome measure that is commonly used in research to show the effectiveness of therapy services. GAS enabled clinicians to set three goals for each child and young person in a conversation between themselves, their parents and the therapist.

Frankie's Story

Frankie came to the Growing Hope High Wycombe clinic for speech therapy after he was struggling to find the words to express himself. Frankie’s mum Rosie described how “He gets quite upset, and a lot of times he’ll give up; it’s really difficult as a parent to see your child just accept that they can't make themselves known”. Rosie longed for Frankie to be able to share his needs and personality with those around him. She and her husband were feeling emotionally defeated. “You start to think ‘is it something that we've done wrong? Maybe. Could we do more?’ It's been really difficult.”

In sessions, Frankie explored playful activities - using signs, symbols, puppets, lolly sticks, and looking closely at how our tongues make different sounds. Frankie began to try new sounds with growing confidence. Rosie noticed the change: “He is getting a lot better with his pronunciation of words, thanks to our sessions here and a lot of hard work from everyone.”

The practical strategies, gentle encouragement, and prayer support from Growing Hope have made a real difference. Now, Rosie looks ahead with hope: “a future where Frankie is confident in making himself known.”

Aims and Objectives

We are Growing Hope. We champion accessibility and provide free therapy for children and young people with additional needs in partnership with local churches.

HOPE FOR CHILDREN

We bring hope to children through offering free therapy services.

HOPE FOR FAMILIES

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

HOPE IN JESUS

We share hope in Jesus because He brings hope even in the most difficult situations.

In accordance with its charity constitution, Growing Hope has sought to achieve the following aims and objectives in the year dated 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025.

The advancement of health and wellbeing for the public benefit through support for therapy clinics run in accordance with Christian principles for children and young people (0-18) with additional needs and their families through local churches across the UK. In particular, but not exclusively by:

  1. partnering with churches across the UK to set up clinics and health and wellbeing services.

  2. providing oversight, funding and support for set-up, training, and clinical supervision for locally run clinics and other such activities as the trustees may from time to time think fit.

  3. raising awareness and providing training for external organisations of how to include and support children with additional needs and their families.

  4. the advancement of the Christian faith through engaging in discussion about Christian faith and doctrine and offering prayer and other such activities as the trustees may from time to time think fit.

This year the Growing Hope team has grown to 13 staff members, and across the year we have been joined by 9 volunteers who have supported our work through administrative tasks, events, fundraising activity and technology development.

Josiah’s Story

Josiah was finding handwriting and concentration really difficult, which made school a daily struggle. Over time, he’d lost confidence and began to avoid writing altogether.

Working with occupational therapist, Sarah, Josiah learned strategies to help him stay focused and become more aware of his body as he worked. Bit by bit, he began to rediscover his confidence. Soon, he did something no one expected.

Josiah decided to write a speech to put himself forward as Cyber Ambassador for his class. His mum told us she had never seen him choose to sit and write on his own before, or tackle something with such self-assurance.

The following week, Josiah proudly came to his OT session beaming. He had indeed been awarded the Cyber Ambassador role! Josiah’s mum says, “Growing Hope has provided a safe, encouraging and supportive environment which has put Josiah at the centre and enabled him to build not only his strength and coordination but his selfconfidence and belief he can achieve brilliantly.”

Hope for Children

Hope for Families

We have run:

869 families have been supported through therapy, training and courses across all of our clinics.

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, several families have taken up this offer and it has been a privilege to see answers to prayer. Our Clinic Managers also work on Sundays to support families to access church with the help of Growing Hope champions.

Across our clinics, we have seen families that have previously found it difficult to attend church and have reported feeling isolated, come along and find a supportive community. 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.

Our Christian Therapists Forum has continued to grow this year, with 225 therapists in our network and 51 therapists attending our webinars across the year.

We’ve also successfully run two Faith & Healthcare events in the autumn and spring for Christians healthcare professionals, with a total of 92 attendees.

Audience Growth

Across 2025, Growing Hope continued to strengthen its audience, reaching more people who share our heart to see families thrive. Audience growth has played a vital role in extending our impact, helping us to tell our story more widely, deepen relationships with supporters, and connect more families with life-changing therapy. This section shows how our community has grown, how people have engaged with our work, and why this matters for the future of Growing Hope.

With four new clinics in new areas, it is no surprise that our audience is 28.5% bigger than in 2024. Our communications team is busy making sure that our audience is retained with good information, exciting updates and opportunities to get involved through giving or volunteering.

In early 2025 we launched a ‘new supporter journey’ so that people who are joining our conversation can catch-up and understand more about the wide world of Growing Hope as they receive our regular updates. This year 827 people have joined this four-email journey.

We are extremely proud of our 2025 podcast series. It had been four years since we had previously published episodes of Growing Hope conversations. This year we have welcomed voices with lived experience of disability and neurodiversity. We have interviewed CEOs, content creators, theologians and church leaders to produce a varied and substantial series, which will continue to be available for years to come.

Looking forward, in 2026 our partnership with the Church of England should see a boost to our audience growth as many more Anglican churches become aware of the accessibility work of Growing Hope. We have also begun the process of a redesign of our website that should re-enable measuring of visitors to the site.

Siblings Group Story

At Easter, one of our Siblings Groups facilitators noticed a new mum and daughter arrive at their church.

When chatting with our facilitator, the mother shared that she had first encountered the church through an advertisement for the Siblings Group. Now in her 40s, she has a sister with complex additional needs. She spoke of her surprise that a church would intentionally support children with additional needs, and even more so that it would recognise and care for siblings, whose experiences are so often overlooked.

Over the weeks that followed, she continued to attend the church, and described experiencing some real encounters with God during worship. Through this, she has begun what we hope will be a significant and life-giving journey of faith. This is a powerful reminder that the work we do can have unexpected and wonderful consequences, reaching individuals in ways we could not have anticipated.

Financial Review

We are very grateful for the work of Sarah Nabatanzi, our Senior Finance Officer. We continue to employ the services of payroll provider, D & A Hill. We are grateful to Emma Bird, who continues to run our Gift Aid claims as a volunteer. The trustees present an overview of the charity’s finances for the period 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025. Growing Hope currently runs with both restricted and unrestricted funding. Funds left in reserve at the end of the financial period: £96,574, of which £96,574 are considered free reserves. The reported deficit reflects a period of financial adjustment in which Growing Hope reduced expenditure and paused recruitment, while expecting a substantial portion of income to be received in early 2026.

Management of Financial Risk

Income and Expenditure

We aim to hold at least three months of our outgoings in reserve, plus an additional £5,000 which can be used as emergency funding for clinics if needed. We raise our income through giving, training and consultancy, fundraising events, and grants. We aim to sustain our income through training and consultancy and giving from local Growing Hope clinics who give £500 a month after they have been running for a year. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102. The full financial statements are found at the end of this report (p.19).

Structure and Governance

Growing Hope is a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in England and Wales and is run in accordance with its charity constitution. Growing Hope works in collaboration with the local Growing Hope charities which also have CIO status. As a CIO, if Growing Hope is wound up, the members of the CIO have no liability to contribute to its assets and no personal responsibility for settling its debts and liabilities. The trustees also hold Trustees Indemnity Insurance of £100,000 for Executive Risks (policy number CC009582).

Vicki Smith, CEO, attends trustee meetings. She is not party to any decisions regarding her salaries or employment.

Growing Hope trustees are members of the CIO and appointed by a resolution at trustee meetings. They are responsible for governance of Growing Hope, ensuring it is meeting its charitable purposes.

Risk Management

The trustees take risk management seriously and have identified the following risks and put in place processes to mitigate them. We have policies in place to mitigate any risks in the following areas; financial risk, IT security and protection, safeguarding, health and safety and comprising Christian identity and values. All of these can be accessed on our website.

The Year Ahead

In 2026, we look forward to working closely with the Church of England through our new partnership. Together, we are aiming to support up to 825 churches over the next three years to improve and strengthen accessibility and inclusion for families. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to welcoming every person fully into church life, and we are excited about the learning, relationships and impact that will grow from this work over the coming months.

We also look forward to launching two new clinics and partnering with new churches, to extend our impact for children with additional needs and their families across the UK.

Growing Hope Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees For the year 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the period 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025 which are set out on pages 21-35.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

Since the charity’s income exceeded £250,000, your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by Section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3.the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Signed,

Growing Hope Notes to the Financial Statements For the year 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025

1. Accounting Policies

Incorporation

Growing Hope was registered in England and Wales with the Charity Commission as a CIO Foundation on 19 December 2017. These financial statements are for the period 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025.

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), published on 16 July 2014. 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 as amended for accounting periods beginning after 1 January 2019.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. 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.

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.

For multi-year income, incoming resources are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the income. Where incoming resources for multi-year grants are conditional, each year’s conditional income will be recorded within the SoFA in the year it is awarded.

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.

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 in restricted funds 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 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 so as 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

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.
