The Duke of Edinburgh Award

 

 

DofE   

 

The D of E programme is really adventurous and challenging, from beginning to end. If you are aged between 14 and 24 and realise there's more to life than sitting on a sofa watching life pass you by then get in contact.

 

Your programme can be full of activities and projects that get you buzzing and will encourage you to learn new skills, help others and gain new experience resulting in 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.

Young Peoples Feedback

 

 

Residential

 

"Cookabilty was so much fun and a great way to meet new people and learn how to cook! The recipes I learnt will be very useful to me in the future and I made some really good friends. I felt the residential was fantastic and I would do it again if I could!" (KW aged 18)

Physical

 

"I really enjoyed the riding this year. I've learnt why we use the aids not just what aids should be used. I also loved breaking in the new ponies, enabling me to see just how  my time and effort affected them." (RH aged 18)

 

 

Expedition

 

I found this expedition the hardest out of all the ones i've done, the rain, which soaked into our boots and waterproof clothing and continued for the most part of the expedition. This made it difficult and everything we were carrying very heavy. However i feel that as a group the experiene made us much closer." (RH aged 19)
