The D of E award is a challenging programme of activities which will help you to learn new skills, help other and  experience adventure and it will give you a great sense of achievement. Many organisations such as employers and universities take a good view of the award and what it says about the young person who has achieved it.

V Inspired is a registered UK charity that recognises passionate young people and how they are embracing new and creative ways to make a difference to life, the world and everything. And they're having a really good time doing it! V Inspired is putting the youth back into youth volunteering. It's different because the interests and passions of young people lead it.

The Sport Reading mission is to promote and deliver sport and physical activity for all sectors of the Reading community, from encouraging participation for health benefits through to developing our future elite athletes and world champions.

BACYP provides support to youth leaders and young people across Berkshire and within the six unitary authorities. We have continued to develop new opportunities for both youth leaders and young persons over this considerable period.

Peer Education provides Young People with a number of skills and gives them a chance to teach their peers about the dangers of things like alcohol, drugs and unprotected sex. Being a peer educator looks brilliant on a CV, and is a fantastic skill to have for prospective employers. It's essential, though, that you are interested in keeping your peers safe and educated about things such as addictions, drugs, drinking and unprotected sex.
