This May, Luke is taking on his first Marathon and Hannah is taking on her first post-baby half to raise money for Growing Hope.

Growing Hope offers free therapy for children and young people with additional needs in partnership with local churches across the UK. They grow hope for families where hope has been lost due to isolation or rejection. They share hope in Jesus because he brings hope even in the most difficult situations.

Growing Hope provides a range of therapies including occupational therapy, speech and language therapy and music therapy to help children and young people reach their potential. They also provide support for parents, carers and siblings through groups and courses.

Research suggests that families aren’t getting the support they need on the NHS as services are currently stretched. Growing Hope aims to bridge the gap by providing support for families who are desperate for help. It costs a minimum of £50,000 to set up and run a clinic in its first year and they are entirely dependent on donations and grants. Please give what you can to help transform the lives of children with additional needs and their families.
