Chair, Treasurer and Trustees for Go Beyond

Inspire brighter futures for children across England.

 

About Us

Go Beyond is a national children’s charity with a powerful, simple mission: to give children a break from difficult lives.

Each year, we provide life-changing residential breaks in the countryside for over 1,000 children aged 8–13 who wouldn’t otherwise get a chance to enjoy time away, make friends, and just be children. With ambitious plans for growth, including pop-up programmes and site expansion we’re seeking a new Chair (to take over in 2026), a Treasurer, and two additional Trustees to strengthen our already passionate and committed Board.

We welcome applications from people who share our values and want to be part of something special.

About You

We are particularly keen to hear from those with senior leadership experience in:

  • Finance / accountancy (especially in the charity or not-for-profit sector)
  • Environment, sustainability, or ESG
  • Education or youth services – a champion for vulnerable children
  • Marketing, PR or communications
  • People, culture and EDI (especially within charities or public service)

Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a unique charity that puts children first in everything we do
  • Help shape our next 5-year strategy, which aims to provide over 5,000 breaks
  • Join a dynamic, engaged Board and leadership team
  • Use your voice and experience to ensure children get the joyful, nurturing respite they deserve
  • Be inspired – and have fun – while helping others do the same

We are actively working to diversify our Board and welcome people with lived experience that reflects the lives of the children we support. No previous board experience is necessary o become a Trustee – just your time, your ideas, and your commitment to making a difference.
