We hold a licence to deliver Duke of Edinburgh’s Award programmes in schools, colleges, special schools, housing associations, uniformed and voluntary organisations across the county. Currently there are over 5,000 young people working towards their awards during which they will be helping others, discovering hidden talents, working together and overcoming challenges.
Anyone aged between 14 and 24 years can do a programme at one of three progressive levels which, when successfully completed, lead to a Bronze, Silver or Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
Participants choose activities and undertake them for the required time period in each of the following categories:
- volunteering
- physical
- skills
- expedition (with an additional residential section at Gold).
