WHAT IS THE DofE?

 

A DofE programme is a real adventure from beginning to end. It’s for any and all young people aged between 14 and 25,

 

You can do programmes at three levels, Bronze, Silver or Gold, which lead to a Duke of Edinburgh's Award.
Bronze if you are 14; Silver for those over 15 and Gold for anyone over 16.

 

You achieve an Award by completing a personal programme of activities in four sections (five if you're going for Gold).

 

You'll find yourself helping people or the community, getting fitter, developing skills, going on an expedition and taking part in a residential activity (Gold only).

 

The best bit is that you choose your activities - your programme can be full of activities and projects that you already do - or new ones you’ve always wanted to have a go at – your choice!!.

 

The added bonus is that on the way you will make new friends, discover new interests and develop new skills – what more could you want?
