Home What's on... Duke of Edinburgh Award

DofE programme is a real adventure from beginning to end. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from. You just need to be aged between 14 and 24 and realise there’s more to life than sitting on a sofa watching life pass you by.

 

You can do programmes at three levels, Bronze, Silver or Gold, which lead to a Duke of Edinburgh's Award.

 

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

 

Volunteering, Physical, Skills & Expedition + Residential (Gold only)

 

Places are available to complete these sections through linking in with our Adventure Group or evening sessions.

 

The length of time you have to spend on each section depends on the level of programme you're doing. 

 

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).

But here's the best bit - you get to choose what you do!

Your programme can be full of activities and projects that get you buzzing. And along the way you’ll pick up experiences, friends and talents that will stay with you for the rest of your life.

 

Further information about the Award can be viewed at www.dofe.org

 

If you are 14+ and interested in applying to do the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, then please contact us here or send an email to events@whyp.org.uk requesting more information or application forms, with your age, contact number and what level you are wanting to apply for.
