Go Beyond is a charity that offers vulnerable children week-long countryside breaks, providing respite from their worries in a safe, supporting environment.
For the past decade, it has welcomed young adults aged 18 and older who are completing the residential section of the Gold Duke of Edinburgh's Awards (DofE) onto the programme as volunteers.
The DofE volunteers spend five days and four nights at one of Go Beyond's residential sites in Cornwall or Derbyshire, working and living alongside 16 young people, a team of volunteers and the charity's permanent supervisory staff and break leaders.
“As an approved DofE activity provider, we ensure that the experience meets the guidance set out in the DofE regulations for the residential section of the award,” explains Go Beyond's operations director, Carl Wholey.
