CLINIC MANAGER’S LETTER

Growing Hope Brockley officially re-opened its doors in September 2024. Through God’s goodness, the unwavering dedication and support of our administrator, hard-working volunteers, a specialist therapist and trustees, we have offered free counselling, psychotherapy and occupational therapy services to the Lewisham and Southwark communities. Through our counselling services and accessible church work with children this year, we have witnessed God’s grace in various ways. Through a parent consultation in the clinic, we witnessed a mother find hope for her child’s increased anxiety challenges, as well as witness her obedience to the call of salvation. There are a few stories in this report that we will highlight, and we hope that you will discover the hope of Jesus and all His goodness in the work that we are doing at the Growing Hope Brockley clinic.

Kirsten Murphy, Clinic Manager, Growing Hope Brockley

CHAIR OF TRUSTEES’ LETTER

Having stepped into this role in November 2023, I am honoured to reflect on a year of progress and gratitude for Growing Hope Brockley. In 2024, we celebrated key milestones, including appointing Kirsten as Clinic Manager, along with Ashlin and Tanya, whose roles have been vital to our success. The clinic’s much-anticipated reopening in August has enabled us to serve families and children once again. We welcomed four new trustees—Lucy, Nikki, Eleanor, and Kylie—while thanking outgoing trustees Nick Stevenson-Steels, Rachel Catley and Tinashe Makoni for their invaluable contributions.

My deepest thanks go to Kirsten, the team, our trustees, and St Peter’s Brockley for their steadfast support. Above all, we give God glory for the lives impacted this year.

CEO’S LETTER

2024 has been a year of tremendous growth for Growing Hope and it brings me such joy to see our impact in the lives of so many children with additional needs and their families. Our national team has expanded to 13 members, and I’m deeply inspired by the team and by the way that God has brought everyone together. And I’m so proud of the therapists, whose hard work, care and passion bring hope to families through our free services.

In June we launched our accessibility award for schools, which champions schools to create communities of welcome where all students can thrive. We’re delighted to have opened Growing Hope Maidstone in November and look forward to launching our next clinics in Redbridge, Solent, York and Farnham in 2025.

We have seen another year of miraculous provision and incredible generosity from our supporters and donors. I want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all those who have given their time, talents and finances, which makes it possible for us to continue our mission of setting up 20 clinics by 2030, so more families can access free, life-changing therapy across the UK.

Dr Naomi Fox , Founder and CEO, Growing Hope

We use a combination of non-standardised feedback forms and a standardised measure, the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS). GAS is an 82% outcome measure that is commonly used in research to show the effectiveness of therapy services. GAS enabled us to set three goals for each child and young person of GAS goals achieved in a conversation between themselves, their by children and young people parents and the therapist.

GREY’S STORY

Grey came to Growing Hope Brockley for occupational therapy and he loved his sessions where he could play in the clinic room, especially loving the swing whilst we sang nursery rhymes with him. Grey practiced using a knife and spoon by feeding his doll some Play-Doh and by the end of the sessions he began using his cutlery at home to eat. Grey and his mother also learnt some fun games to play at home to help his overall gross and fine motor development. Grey made brilliant progress in his sessions.

Mum Vanessa said, “Growing Hope has made a difference to our life by giving Grey independence skills and our family the techniques needed to help our everyday lives. We loved our time here.”

Hope for Children

We have provided free counselling and occupational therapy for children and young people in the St Peter’s church building.

We have provided therapy for 18 children and young people.

We have worked on individualised goals to support children and families in the areas of greatest need. Examples of goals have been emotional regulation, attention and listening, social skills, toileting, dressing and eating.

82% of therapy goals have been achieved.

JENNY & DAMEI’S STORY

Jenny and her mum Damei came to Growing Hope Brockley for counselling sessions and wanted to learn strategies to cope with Jenny’s increased levels of anxiety in public spaces.

In therapy sessions, Jenny was able to identify her sources of anxiety and develop strategies, Damei can also help her use when she feels anxious. She created a bag of strategies to help her at home.

Hope for Families

We have run:

27 training sessions for parents and carers , fortnightly sessions on a variety of topics, hosted by our therapists in partnership with Growing Hope, King’s Cross and High Wycombe. 375 parents and carers have signed up to these sessions.

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 Manager Kirsten also worked on a Sunday to support families to access church with the help of Growing Hope champions.

This year we have had four Growing Hope champions serving alongside children and youth ministry to help families feel welcome. This year St Peter’s Church experienced a new direction in accessible church. We have documented an increase in children with additional needs in our kid’s ministry program, thus a need for more volunteers and teaching that will enable them to access the Bible.

Our families feel so blessed, as the accessible team has been able to provide one-on-one support for children with moderate additional needs. We have accessible helpers in each Sunday school session, ensuring that children with additional needs are given the opportunity to participate with all other children in worshipping Jesus and accessing teaching.

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.

DYLAN’S STORY

Dylan and his parents came to Growing Hope Brockley for counselling sessions this year.

Dylan and his parents worked creatively to find ways of regulating his anger. Dylan has the following tools in his calming tent: lights, a blanket, two pillows, and therapy putty. When he is angry he understands that he can go into his tent and use his tools to regulate.

We are so proud of Dylan and his efforts to engage in a calm space when dysregulated.

AARON’S STORY*

Aaron attended a therapy block at Growing Hope Brockley. Aaron loved seeing the new and exciting way his local church was being used just for him! Aaron and his mother had a great deal of fun exploring the therapy room and experiencing sensory strategies that helped him feel regulated and more able to focus. Throughout each session, we experimented with strategies that could be implemented at home including deep pressure like making an ‘Aaron sandwich’ with pillows, squashing him under a therapy ball, crashing onto a pillow mountain, gentle rocking on the swing, the use of movement like the trampoline.

Growing Hope Brockley Notes to the Financial Statements For the year period 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024

1. Accounting Policies

Incorporation

Growing Hope Brockley was registered in England and Wales with the Charity Commission as a CIO Foundation on 23 March 2020. These financial statements are for the period 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024.

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 Brockley Annual Report 2024

19

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.

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 are shown in note 9 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.

Hope for Children, Hope for Families, Hope in Jesus

Debtors and creditors

20 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 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.
