Together we’ve been supporting young people for over 30 years, giving 20,000 children respite breaks since 1992.
Formerly known as CHICKS, Go Beyond’s first breaks were held under canvas on a farm near Lydford Gorge in Devon. Whilst the charity was small, the vision was big. Go Beyond saw the opportunity to make a lasting difference to young people by giving them a break from the challenges they faced in their everyday lives. They watched children grow in confidence through a week of outdoor adventure, friendship and support. The charity’s name may have changed from CHICKS to Go Beyond but those core values still run through our breaks today.
In 1998, we moved from camping to a rented retreat near Milton Abbott in Devon and then in 2003, we took the leap of purchasing our first centre, ‘Coastal,’ in Cornwall. Most recently, we opened our Daleside Centre in Derbyshire in 2015, giving us the opportunity to support even more young people across the UK.
Your support
Over the last 33 years, we have worked with thousands of inspiring young people and been supported by hundreds of dedicated volunteers, staff, fundraisers, patrons and trustees.
We owe a big thank you to all those who have been a part of the Go Beyond journey. We are proud of everything we have achieved and look forward to giving even more children and young people lasting memories with us, long into the future.
Thanks to generous donations from all across the country, we continue to help young people get a break from their day-to-day challenges.
