Go beyond - Our chosen charity

Firstly, the sunshine symbol for our chosen charity Go Beyond does have some meaning and was carefully chosen to reflect and sum up the ethos behind their work. It also aligns perfectly with our thoughts and feelings about tough times in general and applies to anyone who is struggling with their mental health, not just children. 

“Our positive, sunshine symbol communicates warmth, nature and positivity. Its rising suggests the beginning of a new day, and the reassurance that the sun will come up tomorrow, no matter how difficult life is.”

Go Beyond are a small charity who began back in 1992 and who make a huge difference to children aged 8 – 13, in the UK who are facing serious challenges in their life such as living in poverty, coping with caring responsibilities, suffering the effects of neglect, bereavement, abuse, or bullying, or any other situation that means they could benefit from a week to escape their worries and pressures.

Without supporters, like you, children who care for their ill mums and dads, worry about where their next meal will come from, or fall behind at school and struggle to make friends would never get a break. Never get a chance to explore the great outdoors, go on adventures, or toast marshmallows by the fireside with new friends. Go Beyond puts magic into their lives.

Over the last 30 years, this charity have given over 19,000 vulnerable children breaks. For one week, they pack their troubles away and discover a life that’s full of fun, laughter and imagination.  These breaks are only possible because of the incredibly generous donations that they receive from people like you.  People who care about young lives.

These breaks make a lasting difference to children’s lives, giving memories that last a lifetime, hope and the belief that anything is possible.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to read this article and if you are considering making a donation, please remember that we do know that times are tough for everyone right now and that your donations do not have to be large amounts of money. Literally every penny you can spare will be gratefully received, not judged and will go towards making a child smile. If you would like to learn more about Go Beyond click here
