Overview
Weekly throughtout the year. Our free residential breaks for 8 to 13 year olds usually run from Monday afternoons to Friday mornings.
Go Beyond is the charity giving children and young people facing serious challenges in their lives the chance for a break that lasts a lifetime.
On breaks under wide open skies in the countryside, Go Beyond’s expert staff and committed volunteers give children and young people who have been bereaved, abused or bullied, who are living in poverty or caring for loved ones the chance to escape their worries and pressures. To have the moments and experiences they need to believe in themselves and think beyond the day-to-day for a bigger, brighter future.
We take referrals for individual children, small groups or a whole break of 16 children, aged 8 to 13 years of age. We operate year round and our Referral Coordinators are very experienced in placing the right child on the right break for them. Get in touch and bring some positivity into the lives of your children.
Centres based in Cornwall near Par, Derbyshire near Ashbourne and from 2026 near Chelmsford in Essex.

Are you a parent or guardian of a child who needs a break?
As a parent or guardian of the child, we cannot accept referrals directly from you. You can still help give your child a break. Speak to a social worker, teacher or other professional working with your child to submit a request on your behalf.
