Take the next step, with the
Duke of Edinburgh Award . . .
Hundreds of thousands of young people take part in The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) each year – and you could be one of them. The DofE is about you and your friends sharing amazing experiences together, having fun, and just maybe changing your futures along the way.
Experience New Adventures
Doing your Award helps to turn the things you love, and the things you’ve always wanted to try, into powerful lifelong skills that can help you get a job, change your community, and take on anything life throws your way.
Build Confidence
Taking part in the DofE will give you skills, confidence and something to talk about when you apply for college, University or a job. Your unique journey will be evidence of extra-curricular activities, such as communication, commitment, leadership and teamwork.
Make A Difference
You’ll also make a difference to other people’s lives and your community, become fitter and healthier, make new friends and have memories to last you a lifetime.
If you would like more information, simply fill out the form at the bottom of this page and our Duke of Edinburgh Manager will respond to you as soon as possible.
DofE is non-competitive and everyone aged 14-24 is welcome to take part, whatever your interests, background and abilities. It’s about finding the confidence to be yourself, knowing that when things get tough, you
can find a way through.
There are three levels of Award – Bronze, Silver and Gold. For each one you need to complete four sections – Volunteering, Physical, Skills and the Expedition. For Gold, you also need to complete a five-day residential.
​
You must be aged 14+ to take part in the Bronze award, aged 15+ to take part in the Silver award and aged 16+ to take part in the Gold award. All sections must be completed before your 25th Birthday.

There is a £28.00 participation fee for the Bronze and Silver awards and a £35.00 fee for the Gold award. Limited funded places are available, please contact Helen for more information on this.
