The Past Year

Clinic Manager's Letter

This year has been one of exciting growth and development for the Growing Hope High Wycombe team. To help sustain and build on this momentum, we welcomed Kirsty as our new fundraiser. Kirsty is working hard to increase funding opportunities, helping to ensure the future growth and impact of the clinic. Our volunteer team has also grown! Jeannie and Mollie have joined us to run parent drop-in sessions, offering a welcoming space for support and connection and Bethanne has been providing hands-on help within clinic sessions.

We said a fond farewell to Dani, and in her place, we welcomed Ruth, who provides vital administrative support and helps to keep everything running smoothly.

We are incredibly grateful to every single person who volunteers their time and energy. Your commitment, alongside the dedication of our therapy team, is what makes our work possible and impactful. Thank you for being part of our journey as we continue to grow hope for children and families in High Wycombe.

Rosalyn Baskett, Clinic Manager, Growing Hope High Wycombe

Chair of Trustees' Letter

2025 has been another encouraging year where children and families have benefited from therapy and support. The year began with the opening of our bespoke playground providing an additional safe space for children to play and parents to relax. Fundraising remains a focus and a challenge, and money given by many individuals and through various fun events reminds us of God’s provision. All paid and volunteer members of the team, ably led by Rosalyn, achieve wonderful results through their skills, gifts and knowledge. Most of all, they never cease to offer hope to children and families as they succeed in making progress, however small and hard-won. There is much to thank God for.

Jan Fishwick, Chair of Trustees, Growing Hope High Wycombe

Growing Hope National’s CEO Letter

At the start of 2025, we aimed for consolidation with steady growth, however, I am amazed to look back and see a year defined by unprecedented growth and unexpected momentum. We didn’t just sustain our services - we doubled them. I’m deeply grateful for a team that embraced significant change with faith, creativity, and determination.

We opened four new clinics in Redbridge, Solent, York, and Farnham, bringing life-changing therapy to families who had been struggling alone. With plans for clinics in Ipswich and Tunbridge Wells progressing for 2026, we are firmly on track toward our goal of 20 clinics by 2030.

At the heart of everything are the families we serve. We provided free therapy for 440 children and supported 445 families through groups and training, continuing to share hope in Jesus through prayer and community.

None of this would be possible without the incredible generosity of many along with the dedication of our staff and volunteers. Together, we are not just providing therapy and support - we are bringing new hope to families across the UK.

Vicki Smith , CEO, Growing Hope National

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 us to set three goals for each child and young person in a conversation between themselves, their parents and the therapist.

Aims and Objectives

We are Growing Hope High Wycombe. We champion accessibility and provide free therapy for children and young people with additional needs living in High Wycombe, in partnership with St James' Church Downley.

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 High Wycombe 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 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 the High Wycombe area. In particular, but not exclusively by:

This year the Growing Hope High Wycombe team has grown to seven staff members, and across the year we have been joined by one regular volunteer who has supported our work through administrative tasks.

7 7

Hope for Children

We have provided free occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, art therapy, and music therapy in the St James’ Downley church building. We have provided therapy for 140 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.

80% of therapy goals have been achieved.

Kolbie-Jaxx's Story

"Growing Hope really helped Kolbie-Jaxx with his vocabulary 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 Kolbie-Jaxx wants which 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. Rosalyn has been amazing with Kolbie-Jaxx and understanding his sensory issues as well and always taking those into consideration when planning the sessions." - Mum Jess

Hope for Families

We have run:

1 When Dreams Change course , for a total of 6 parents and carers. When Dreams Change is 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.

Accessible Playground

Our playground has been open for families to access with feedback from one family saying "It was such a lovely experience for my son to enjoy a quiet, clean, and peaceful space. Usually, parks during the holidays are busy and noisy, which can be overwhelming for him as he has ASD, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, and is nonverbal. This time, he was able to truly relax and have fun." This space is available for families known to Growing Hope High Wycombe to use throughout the year.

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 also works on a Sunday to support families to access church with the help of Growing Hope champions and running Messy Church making this accessible for all. We have had four clinic families come along and been able to access the crafts and activities and make connections with other local families.

Frankie's Story

Frankie came to Growing Hope High Wycombe 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.”

Growing Hope High Wycombe 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 17-29.

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

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.

The notes on pages 20 to 29 form part of these financial statements.

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

1. Accounting Policies

Incorporation

Growing Hope High Wycombe was registered in England and Wales with the Charity Commission as a CIO Foundation on 26 July 2021. 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). 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.

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 2025 to 31 December 2025 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 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 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.

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 Play Ground Equipment: 15 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.
