Hello from Hollie, Kate & Steve! Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. We are joining forces, our combined running, swimming and cycling power to become the unstoppable team to battle it out at Hever Castle and raise lots of funds for Growing Hope Maidstone.

Growing Hope offers free therapy for children and young people with additional needs in partnership with local churches across the UK. Growing Hope Maidstone serves families living in Maidstone and runs in partnership with St Luke’s Church. They bring hope to children through free therapy services. They bring hope to children through free therapy services. 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 Maidstone currently offers music therapy and speech and language 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.
