We have joined the Employers Initiative on Domestic Abuse
Domestic abuse can happen to anyone of any age, gender, race, sexual orientation, religion or background. Abusive behaviour includes: physical or sexual abuse, violent or threatening behaviour, emotional abuse, controlling or coercive behaviour, economic abuse, psychological, or other abuse.
The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 makes clear that employers should consider the impact of domestic abuse on their employees as part of their duty of care. As a responsible employer, Beyond Limits are a member of the Employers’ Initiative on Domestic Abuse (EIDA) www.eida.org.uk and we are committed to their membership charter which includes fostering a safe, supportive and open environment to allow domestic abuse to be effectively tackled in the workplace and supporting employees who are affected by domestic abuse and those that report it by providing access to information and services.
Organisations that can provide support
If you or someone you know needs help there are several organisations that can provide support. You do not have to wait for an emergency situation to find help. If domestic abuse is happening to you, it’s important to tell someone and remember you’re not alone.

Well done Rich!!!
Rich was on the winning side recently when his team won the division 2 wheelchair rugby league. Rich plays wheelchair rugby with the West Country Hawks and they played over 3 weekends which took place in Stoke-on-Trent.
He was involved in a total of 16 games and they remained undefeated across of all the games, little wonder that Rich looks so happy. He plays as a defender and he was a key player for his team, his force and strength stopped a number of goals from being conceded.
Well done Rich, and who knows, this time Stoke-on Trent, next time the Olympics!

Chantelle flies to Scotland
Chantelle has had an amazing year and has achieved so much and so as a little reward a trip to Scotland was planned.
Despite not having been on a plane for a long time, Chantelle did really well and she caught the plane from Bristol to Edinburgh. She had a really busy weekend doing lots of sightseeing, she walked along the Royal Mile and enjoyed listening to the bagpipes.
Had a trip to Edinburgh Castle and visited the World of Illusions which she really enjoyed and said was great fun.
She hopped on and off the tour bus and enjoyed listening to lots of history through the headphones and to top it all off she enjoyed a shandy in a local pub. A very busy weekend but lots of fun was had.
The Chiefs and The Hawks
An inspirational and informative day was had by Rich and team members Martin and Keith at the European and English Champions, The Exeter Chiefs. Rich was granted a personal tour by Aron Struminski, the Senior Community Manager for the Exeter Chiefs.
Rich plays for the Westcountry Hawks so this was a great opportunity for him to chat to Aron, explore the grounds and the team areas including the gym, rehabilitation area and the winners’ cups.
The attention to detail was fabulous, no wonder the Exeter Chiefs are champs.

Before the fantastic tour, Rich, Martin and Keith visited the House of Marbles for some Christmas shopping and to play some games before having a spot of lunch.

They ended the trip with a visit to Jolly Rogers life size resin models, a must-see attraction if you haven’t been already. It was a great day out for all, and they are looking forward to the next one.

Sofa to Finland
Well, after many delays due to Covid here it is, finally. From Sofa to Finland is the sequel to from Sofa to Sweden and the idea was to cycle around the Turku Archipelago. For those of you that have been following the story, you will know that Ricky is blind but he doesn’t let that stop him from having a great life.
Ricky never had the opportunities in life that most of us take for granted. He never learnt to ride a bike as a child and up until about 5 years ago, he wouldn’t even sit on a bike. He started like most of do, just sitting and getting comfortable and then progressed to getting pushed around.
With his team encouraging him he finally managed to ride tandem and so of course, it was time to plan a challenge. They cycled over 200kms round one of the oldest archipelago trails. A momentous effort, especially in the searing heat. I wonder where Ricky’s adventures will take him next.
Thanks to Ryan for organising the trip, Hamish for his stubborn determination and believing anything is possible for people and David Bray for supporting and making Ricky comfortable with his first bike.

Chantelle goes Beyond the Limits
Chantelle has been working in the Lounge in Torquay for 2 years. The Lounge is a community café which provides support to people who are homeless.
Chantelle volunteers as a waitress, she also helps in the kitchen and enjoys talking to the customers. Chantelle received an award recently in the category of Going Above and Beyond in a volunteering role from the local Council.
On Friday 3rd June Chantelle attended the Jubilee party in Torquay and she was given her award by the Lord Mayor, she received a £15.00 voucher. Chantelle has a very good work ethic, she is never late or ill and she has made lots of friends through her volunteering. Well Done Chantelle, keep up the good work, your team is very proud of you.
Terra Nova, the new café on the block
If you haven’t found it already, this a great little café which has recently opened in Devonport. Terra Nova, named after local man Robert Falcon Scott and his Terra Nova expedition to the South Pole. Anyway, if that leaves you cold but you love a great flat white, then this place comes highly recommended.
Much needed in Devonport, it offers great food which focuses on wraps and salads and there are a range of smoothies available as well. Terra Nova also has a licence so there is the option of a glass of wine with your superfood salad if you so desire. Best thing for me though is the range of cakes, it’s a lovely place to pop in on an afternoon for a flat white and the biggest piece of cake which usually includes a delicious banana bread and an assortment of brownies and blondies.
There is outside sitting for when the sun shines, it is very dog friendly and they offer plenty of veggie options. Access is straight in off the road, no steps, just a little lip so wheelchair friendly as well and the toilets are on the same level. If you are in the area, pop in and give them a try, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
Visit the Terra Nova website terranovacafe.uk where you can see their range of food and drinks and even place an order.
A great cafe called Bubbles
New Street on the Barbican is one of the oldest streets in Plymouth but it is where you will find Bubbles Bar @ Barbican, a neat little place doing speciality Hong Kong street food.
If you are a fan of the sweet stuff and you think that being in the perfect spot of The Barbican is not enough, just wait until you fall into a heaven of sweet tastes. This place has nice friendly staff who have the patience needed whilst you choose between all their flavours, believe me, it could you take you a while to decide.
The menu is fixed but they do have some seasonal changes and you can ask for your own combinations. It’s a relaxed vibe and on a nice day you can wander on the Barbican with your bubble waffle. Completely worth and value for money, at £5.99, don’t we all deserve a treat every now and then.
Visit Bubbles on Facebook for mouthwatering photos…

Chantelle visits Pennywell Farm
It was a lovely day recently and a real sign that Spring is on the way.
Chantelle decided to take advantage of the nice weather and booked tickets to go to Pennywell Farm. Chantelle loves animals, she quite often attends her local horse riding centre and enjoys feeding and grooming the horses. Pennywell Farm has a wide range of animals and Chantelle loves to get involved in feeding and petting them.
The miniature pigs are a real hit and Chantelle took real care of these and enjoyed having a piggy cuddle.
The goats are mischievous and quite greedy and nearly enjoyed a piece of Chantelle’s jacket on more than one occasion.
Lunch and a walk around the rest of the farm looking at the other animals completed the day and Chantelle is already looking to book tickets again for another visit soon.
Visit the Pennywell Farm website for more information and to book tickets.
