Go Beyond Charity - Family support services
What we do
Go Beyond is a registered charity which provides FREE five day respite breaks for children aged between 8 and 15 years old who are living in challenging conditions and do not have any opportunity to access recreational or social settings.. We believe every child has the right to make positive childhood memories. A Go Beyond break inspires new confidence and gives children the chance to have fun, enjoy new experiences and relax. More than anything, it gives them the chance to just be children.
Go Beyond currently has two retreats for breaks in the UK; one in South Cornwall and one in Derbyshire. The centres are set on grounds with converted barns full of trampolines, basketball nets, pool tables and table tennis, along with an arts and crafts area.
Who do we support
Go Beyond provides breaks for children between the ages of 8 to 15 years. Children can be referred by professionals to Go Beyond for a huge variety of reasons. They may be living in poverty, be young carers or be subject to neglect, bereavement, abuse, emotional distress or any other situation that causes the child to have a tough time at home.
Can anyone use this service?
In order to refer a child for a free CHICKS break, an online Break Referral Form will need to be completed and submitted by a professional who is working with the child or family. In order to access the Break Referral Form please visit our CHICKS website.
