Welcome to Growing Hope Conversations Podcast.

This week is Part 2 of our conversation with Carrie Grant MBE. Carrie is a parent of four children with special educational needs, TV presenter, vocal coach, leadership coach, ordained minister and campaigner for families with SEND.

In Part 2, Carrie talks about her own experiences of parenting SEN children, reflecting on the challenges of the education system and how faith and compassion shape her approach to family life.

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.
