Welcome to Growing Hope Conversations Podcast.
This week on the podcast we’re joined by Joe Lowther, CEO of KICK, a charity whose mission is to transform young people’s lives, with God’s love, through sport and support.
Joe Lowther is married to Laura and has 3 sons. He was previously a principal of an outstanding school and is now CEO of KICK.
How can sport and faith bring belonging to children and young people, including those with additional needs? Joe Lowther joins Bambi to share how KICK creates inclusive spaces where every child can thrive - physically, mentally, and spiritually. From inclusive sports to faith-based mentoring, Joe explains how KICK is helping young people find confidence, community, and joy in who they are created to be.
This is a podcast from Growing Hope, a charity offering free therapy for children and young people with additional needs, and support for their families. Join our host, Bambi French, as she welcomes guests who’ve been there - sharing real stories, honest struggles, and how churches can truly make a difference.
