Growing Hope with Vicki Smith

In this episode of Active Generosity, Ruth Jackson speaks with Vicki Smith, CEO of Growing Hope, a charity providing free therapy for children and young people with additional needs and supporting their families in partnership with local churches. Vicki shares how Growing Hope began with Founder Naomi Fox’s vision of clinics offering both practical help and spiritual hope, and how that vision continues to grow across the UK. Vicki unpacks the values that shape Growing Hope -community, hope and integrity - and speaks candidly about the joys and challenges of leading with generosity. From miraculous provision to everyday faithfulness, her stories offer rich encouragement to keep trusting God’s abundance. Vicki also reflects on her personal journey of faith and generosity, offering wise counsel for those struggling amidst rising living costs: it’s not about comparing what you can give but considering what’s in your hand and trusting God to multiply even the smallest offering.
