Every child grows at their own pace.
Growth Team helps children through worries, big feelings and tricky times, with friendly groups, one-to-one sessions and support for the grown-ups around them.

What we do
We give children a safe, friendly place to talk about how they feel, and we help the adults in their lives know what to say and do.
After-school groups
Small, relaxed groups where children play games, make things and learn simple ways to handle worries, anger and sadness together.
One-to-one sessions
Time with a trained, friendly adult for children who find it easier to talk on their own, at a pace that suits them.
Help for parents and carers
Advice, drop-in chats and practical ideas for supporting your child at home, so you're not working it out on your own.
Workshops in schools
Fun, age-appropriate sessions that help whole classes talk about feelings, plus training for teachers and school staff.
Getting support is easy
Parents, carers, teachers and other professionals can all get in touch. You don't need a diagnosis or a referral.

Together we'll choose a group, one-to-one sessions or support for you, whatever suits your child best.
Hi, I'm Matt
I set up Growth Team to give local children a safe, friendly place to talk about how they feel, and to help their families feel less alone with it.
[A few lines from Matt about his background, why he started the charity, and the team and volunteers who help run it.]
“Big feelings are a normal part of growing up. No child should have to carry them on their own.”
